Bath resealing near Lindsell

How we handle bath resealing in Lindsell

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are a messy previous reseal and leaks at the edges.

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

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

FAQs for Lindsell

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Common problems we fix in Lindsell

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Unsealed corners
  • Gaps in the seal

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who will actually do the work

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Let steam out after showers

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

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

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Lindsell

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it

How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lindsell. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
