Bath resealing for Ludgvan homes

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Bath resealing in Ludgvan without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms, and people most often call us about gaps in the seal and stained silicone.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No need to remove anything

What we are called out for in Ludgvan

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black mould in the sealant

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price.

Advice

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

FAQs for Ludgvan

Can new silicone go over old?

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

How much does bath resealing cost in Ludgvan?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Ludgvan is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How long before I can shower?

Normally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
