Resealing in Lumb: why it matters

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our prices page.

About our bath resealing in Lumb

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We are often asked to fix silicone smeared on tiles and gaps by the taps, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lumb

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

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper 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.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

FAQs for Lumb

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Can new silicone go over old?

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

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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