Signs you need bath resealing in Lordswood
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Common reasons people in Lordswood contact us include:
- Unsealed corners
- Gaps in the seal
- Black spots in the silicone
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

About our bath resealing in Lordswood
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about gaps in the seal and damp near the bath.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Why it’s worth resealing in Lordswood
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Your questions about bath resealing in Lordswood
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?

You will get the curing time from us, typically around a day.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
