Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

When to call us in Ludford

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black spots in the silicone

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • When it can be used again
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before booking

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  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. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ludford questions

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan

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, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What affects the price in Ludford

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths
