Bath resealing near Lakes End

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

How we handle bath resealing in Lakes End

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s an untidy old seal and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Lakes End

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What we are called out for in Lakes End

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Black spots in the silicone

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What affects the price in Lakes End

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most clients in Lakes End get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
