Bath resealing for Lumley homes

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage

Bath resealing in Lumley, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. If you are dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and leaks at the edges, we can normally put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf

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 will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Resealing in Lumley: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Questions from Lumley

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How long will it take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you cover the entire of West Sussex?

Across the UK, so Lumley is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

What affects the price in Lumley

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Common problems we fix in Lumley

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Before booking anyone

  • How to care for the finish
  • Who will actually do the work
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
