DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we handle bath resealing in Winterborne Stickland
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath or tray and a messy previous reseal, in baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Keep the joints dry
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
Common questions in Winterborne Stickland
How much does bath resealing cost in Winterborne Stickland?
Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your DT11 postcode.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Winterborne Stickland is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Different materials, different repairs
