How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- 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
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price

Advice
Bath resealing at your home in Leswalt
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Common call-outs are for old sealant that looks dirty and a messy previous reseal, on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Landlord and trade work in Leswalt
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Leswalt use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What affects the price in Leswalt
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
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 give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep the joints dry
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
