Trusted bath resealing in Helpston

Helpston: your questions answered

How long does a reseal take?

Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Bath resealing in Helpston, done in place

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat 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’re dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help, whatever the material.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Helpston and across Lincolnshire.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it 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.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

  • Missing sealant behind the taps

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Resealing in Helpston: why it matters

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
