How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Bath resealing in Law without replacing anything

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our technicians work on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about unsealed corners and mould you can’t clean out.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Signs you need bath resealing in Law

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

How we price bath resealing

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Questions from Law

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of South Lanarkshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

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.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Do you work in Law?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Law and the rest of South Lanarkshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
