Bath resealing at your home in Yawl
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you are dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and black mould in the sealant, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Yawl and across Dorset.

When to call us in Yawl
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Before you book anyone

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Questions from Yawl
Which areas do you work in?
All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Resealing in Yawl: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Work done at your home or business
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Same prices wherever you are

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Air the room after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Dry the seal after bathing
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
