How we handle bath resealing in Limbury

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you’re dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and leaks at the edges, we can help, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms alike.

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

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Let steam out after showers

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Limbury questions

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Do you cover the entire of Luton?

We cover the whole UK, including Limbury and the rest of Luton. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Will it make a mess?

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

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Limbury

  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Limbury

There’s no area surcharge for Limbury. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.

Resealing in Limbury: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  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. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
