Bath resealing in Lesbury, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include discoloured, yellow sealant and water getting behind the bath or tray, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Our hiring checklist

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.

FAQs for Lesbury

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Do you charge for travel?

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

Do you come to Lesbury?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Lesbury. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Lesbury.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Lesbury

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

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
