What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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

How we handle bath resealing in Lee-over-Sands

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We regularly repair baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone coming away from the tiles and a messy previous reseal.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlord and trade work in Lee-over-Sands

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours. The room is left tidy.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Your questions about bath resealing in Lee-over-Sands

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
