Bath resealing near Lodsworth

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Bath resealing in Lodsworth, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include missing sealant behind the taps and damp near the bath, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Resealing in Lodsworth: why it matters

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our prices page.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

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

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage

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

What we work on

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

Lodsworth questions

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is it messy?

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

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you need bath resealing in Lodsworth?

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you are in Lodsworth 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.
