Bath resealing near Lonemore

About our bath resealing in Lonemore

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include old sealant that looks dirty and mould you can’t clean out, across baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about bath resealing in Lonemore

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

How soon can you come?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How long does a reseal take?

Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Prices and what affects them

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IV21 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, 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

Aftercare is simple:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Open a window after bathing

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
