Bath resealing for Linfit homes

Bath resealing in Linfit, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We’re frequently asked to fix missing sealant behind the taps and black spots in the silicone, in baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How we price bath resealing

We do not charge extra for travel to Linfit. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Do you need bath resealing in Linfit?

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Stained silicone

Choosing a repair company

Why it’s worth resealing in Linfit

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Common questions in Linfit

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You will get the curing time from us.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
