Bath resealing in Grainthorpe

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Bath resealing at your home in Grainthorpe

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about gaps by the taps and black mould in the sealant.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Grainthorpe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Common questions in Grainthorpe

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you come to Grainthorpe?

We do. Technicians travel to Grainthorpe from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Grainthorpe use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lincolnshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Common problems we fix in Grainthorpe

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Damp near the bath
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Comparing quotes

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
