How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Advice

About our bath resealing in Lound

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Our technicians work on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are mould you can’t clean out and damp near the bath.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Do you need bath resealing in Lound?

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

FAQs for Lound

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Lound?

We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you cover Lound?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Lound from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Normally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

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, with the joint fully dried first.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Lound

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
