How we handle bath resealing in Linmere
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Typical jobs include missing sealant behind the taps and gaps in the seal, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Common questions in Linmere
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What we’re called out for in Linmere
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- A messy previous reseal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price covers travel
- When it can be used again
- How the room is protected while they work
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What affects the price in Linmere
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
