Bath resealing near East Lydford

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Bath resealing in East Lydford, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What we are called out for in East Lydford
