Bath resealing in Lime Street, done in place

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you are dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and black spots in the silicone, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Lime Street and across Gloucestershire.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

When to call us in Lime Street

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Lime Street

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you cover Lime Street?

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

How much does bath resealing cost in Lime Street?

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your GL19 postcode.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
