Bath resealing in Lordington without replacing anything

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include unsealed corners and sealant that’s split or lifting, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lordington use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Lordington

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Gaps by the taps
  • An untidy old seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price bath resealing

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price
