What affects the price in Lighthorne
There is no area surcharge for Lighthorne. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Resealing in Lighthorne: why it matters
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Store bottles on a shelf
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Your questions about bath resealing in Lighthorne
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are there extra charges for Lighthorne?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
