Bath resealing for Lathom homes

Bath resealing in Lathom, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We’re frequently asked to fix stained silicone and unsealed corners, across basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Lathom: your questions answered

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time, usually around a day.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Lathom?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do I have to be there?

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

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Air the room after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

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

Common problems we fix in Lathom

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black mould in the sealant

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 usually the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes around two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

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

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Lathom. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Lathom, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
