We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps.

Lamerton questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PL19 postcode.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
- Air the room after use
- Keep the joints dry
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Common problems we fix in Lamerton
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What preparation is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For anyone letting property in or around Lamerton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
