Bath resealing near Lavister

What bath resealing costs

We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Lavister. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back

For a price in Lavister, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

About our bath resealing in Lavister

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s unsealed corners and damp near the bath, we can generally put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units alike.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf

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

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

FAQs for Lavister

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

Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LL12 postcode.

What do you need from me?

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

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Are there extra charges for Lavister?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How long does a reseal take?

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

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LL12 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
