Bath resealing in Lapley

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

How we handle bath resealing in Lapley

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you’re dealing with an untidy old seal and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Lapley as everywhere else we work.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Common problems we fix in Lapley

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • An untidy old seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Keep the joints dry

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Why it’s worth resealing in Lapley

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

FAQs for Lapley

How long does a reseal take?

Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

How long does silicone take to cure?

Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

How soon can you come?

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

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Lapley included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
