What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
About our bath resealing in Lapford
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. If you are dealing with stained silicone and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help, on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What we can’t put right

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Lapford: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will the price change on the day?

Do you cover Lapford?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Lapford. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Lapford.
Why reseal now?

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Use the extractor fan
- Let steam out after showers
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
