Bath resealing for Louth homes

About our bath resealing in Louth

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We’re frequently asked to fix black mould in the sealant and gaps in the seal, across wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Common questions in Louth

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.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Are there extra charges for Louth?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How long does a reseal take?

Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What affects the price in Louth

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Air the room after use

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Louth

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need bath resealing in Louth

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Before booking anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
