Trusted bath resealing in Lamesley

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Bath resealing in Lamesley without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about leaks at the edges and silicone smeared on tiles.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Your questions about bath resealing in Lamesley

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the curing time from us.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Gateshead. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Shower trays

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

Resealing in Lamesley: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

  • A flexing bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  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 apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Lamesley

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Stained silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • What preparation is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
