Bath resealing for Lulsgate Bottom homes

How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes around two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

About our bath resealing in Lulsgate Bottom

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and a messy previous reseal, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Lulsgate Bottom: your questions answered

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Lulsgate Bottom?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lulsgate Bottom use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Lulsgate Bottom, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
