Bath resealing in Lownie Moor

Bath resealing in Lownie Moor, done in place

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Whether it’s a messy previous reseal and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

10 questions to ask before you book

Lownie Moor: your questions answered

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Lownie Moor.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

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.

Why it’s worth resealing in Lownie Moor

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the whole UK

See our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hidden water damage

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Lownie Moor

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

How we price bath resealing

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
