Bath resealing in Lydbrook, done in place

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Typical jobs include damp near the bath and black mould in the sealant, in basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Lydbrook and across Gloucestershire.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Resealing in Lydbrook: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No need to remove anything
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Landlord and trade work in Lydbrook

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lydbrook as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Your questions about bath resealing in Lydbrook

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Lydbrook?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

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

What we’re called out for in Lydbrook

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black mould in the sealant
