FAQs for Lauriston
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How long does resealing take?
Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
About our bath resealing in Lauriston
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about silicone coming away from the tiles and leaks at the edges.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Signs you need bath resealing in Lauriston
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- An untidy old seal
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Stained silicone
- Gaps by the taps
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What preparation is included
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Keep the joints dry
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
How we price bath resealing
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
