Need bath resealing in Lemsford?

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Lemsford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

How we handle bath resealing in Lemsford

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. We’re frequently asked to fix water getting behind the bath or tray and sealant that’s split or lifting, across baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

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

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Air the room after use
  • Keep the joints dry

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to around two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry

Related advice

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Questions from Lemsford

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Are there extra charges for Lemsford?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

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.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lemsford

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
