Signs you need bath resealing in Lydgate

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone

10 questions to ask before booking

How we handle bath resealing in Lydgate

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Lydgate: your questions answered

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your OL4 postcode.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the curing time from us, generally around a day.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A flexing bath

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