Bath resealing in Lotherton, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We are often asked to fix gaps by the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our prices page.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Open a window after bathing

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

FAQs for Lotherton

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you work in Lotherton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Lotherton and the rest of Leeds. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Leeds.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes around two hours. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Get a quote

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Related advice

When to call us in Lotherton

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Unsealed corners
  • An untidy old seal
  • Black mould in the sealant

Comparing quotes

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How to care for the finish

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in 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.

What affects the price in Lotherton

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
