Trusted bath resealing in Lutton

Bath resealing in Lutton, done in place

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. If you’re dealing with black spots in the silicone and unsealed corners, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Do you need bath resealing in Lutton?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Mould you cannot clean out

What bath resealing costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

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.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

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.

Lutton questions

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Let steam out after showers

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
