Trusted bath resealing in Lyatts

Can I fix it myself?

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

About our bath resealing in Lyatts

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. If you are dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and silicone smeared on tiles, we can help, whatever the material.

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.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Lyatts questions

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How we price bath resealing

We charge the same across the UK, including Lyatts. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

What it costs 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 quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Signs you need bath resealing in Lyatts

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Stained silicone

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. We do not add 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.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Same prices wherever you are
