Bath resealing in Lockington

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep the joints dry

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Bath resealing in Lockington, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We’re often asked to fix damp near the bath and old sealant that looks dirty, in basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A flexing bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lockington. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you are in Lockington and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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 generally cheaper.
