Bath resealing for Luxted homes

Bath resealing at your home in Luxted

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are missing sealant behind the taps and gaps in the seal.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Common problems we fix in Luxted

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps in the seal

10 questions to ask before you book

Luxted: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Do you cover Luxted?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Luxted and the rest of Greater London. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Luxted is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Luxted

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

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What bath resealing costs

There is no charge for travel to Luxted. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
