Bath resealing near Lemington

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Bath resealing at your home in Lemington

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about silicone smeared on tiles and black spots in the silicone.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Newcastle upon Tyne.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Lemington

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps by the taps

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • How the colour is matched
  • Aftercare advice
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before you book

What bath resealing costs

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a couple of hours.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  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

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. 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.

Resealing in Lemington: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Everything repaired in place

Read our pricing.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

FAQs for Lemington

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Are you accredited?

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
