Bath resealing at your home in Lydlinch
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and common reasons people contact us are discoloured, yellow sealant and missing sealant behind the taps.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Open a window after bathing
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Resealing in Lydlinch: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Lydlinch: your questions answered
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Do you come to Lydlinch?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Lydlinch. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
