Bath resealing for Lilley homes

Resealing in Lilley: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How we handle bath resealing in Lilley

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Our technicians work on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the sealant and missing sealant behind the taps.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Open a window after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Signs you need bath resealing in Lilley

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to around two hours.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Lilley questions

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You will get the curing time from us, typically around a day.

Do you cover Lilley?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Lilley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LU2 postcode.
