Bath resealing in Lolworth

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Bath resealing in Lolworth without replacing anything

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s an untidy old seal and missing sealant behind the taps, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Lolworth and across Cambridgeshire.

What affects the price in Lolworth

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Why it’s worth resealing in Lolworth

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Lolworth customers choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the entire UK

When to call us in Lolworth

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Stained silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Unsealed corners
  • Leaks at the edges

Comparing quotes

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What prep work is covered
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

FAQs for Lolworth

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Air the room after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
