About our bath resealing in Lane End

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Common call-outs are for silicone coming away from the tiles and black spots in the silicone, in basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep the joints dry

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried 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, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Lane End questions

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

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

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

How much does bath resealing cost in Lane End?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lane End as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

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

Common problems we fix in Lane End

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps in the seal

Before you book anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

Materials we repair

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms

What affects the price in Lane End

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Resealing in Lane End: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
