Bath resealing in Lordswood

Bath resealing in Lordswood, done in place

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Common call-outs are for gaps by the taps and black spots in the silicone, in baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Open a window after bathing

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

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

Lordswood: your questions answered

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do you come to Lordswood?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Lordswood. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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

When to call us in Lordswood

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

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Leaks at the edges

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lordswood

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lordswood use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
