About our bath resealing in Lindsey
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about an untidy old seal and sealant that’s split or lifting.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

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.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lindsey use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
When to call us in Lindsey
In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
- Unsealed corners

- What aftercare is recommended
Why it’s worth resealing in Lindsey
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes around two hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep the joints dry
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Lindsey questions
How much does bath resealing cost in Lindsey?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Do you come to Lindsey?
We do. We send a technician to Lindsey for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
