About our bath resealing in Lunsford
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We are frequently asked to fix silicone smeared on tiles and old sealant that looks dirty, in basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.

Prices and what affects them
You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your ME20 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lunsford
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Questions from Lunsford
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you work in Lunsford?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Lunsford from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
