About our bath resealing in East Lydeard

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you are dealing with an untidy old seal and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can typically put it right, on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in East Lydeard and across Somerset.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units

What we’re called out for in East Lydeard

How we price bath resealing

We charge the same across the UK, including East Lydeard. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep the joints dry

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

East Lydeard: your questions answered

What happens next?

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for East Lydeard. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
