About our bath resealing in Lydgate

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and common reasons people contact us are stained silicone and water getting behind the bath or tray.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Your questions about bath resealing in Lydgate

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Typically because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do you work in Lydgate?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Lydgate. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your HD9 postcode.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

When to call us in Lydgate

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Mould you can’t clean out

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  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 pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lydgate

For anyone letting property in or around Lydgate, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lydgate as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Resealing in Lydgate: 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. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
