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.

How long before I can shower?
You will get the curing time from us.
What areas do you cover?

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.

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.

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
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.
