Bath resealing at your home in Lewdown

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you’re dealing with leaks at the edges and gaps by the taps, we can help, whatever the material.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 generally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

How we price bath resealing

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lewdown. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lewdown as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Do you need bath resealing in Lewdown?

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Questions to ask before you book

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Why it’s worth resealing in Lewdown

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs

Your questions about bath resealing in Lewdown

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How much does bath resealing cost in Lewdown?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
