Trusted bath resealing in Lache

Bath resealing at your home in Lache

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 shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about old sealant that looks dirty and silicone smeared on tiles.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lache

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lache use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What bath resealing costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Lache. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Lache questions

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
