How we handle bath resealing in Lewiston
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are stained silicone and mould you can’t clean out.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

FAQs for Lewiston
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Are there extra charges for Lewiston?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep the joints dry
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 typically cheaper.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Lewiston

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lewiston
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
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.
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
