Signs you need bath resealing in Lye Cross

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Leaks at the edges

Rented homes near Nailsea & Backwell station (about 4.3 miles north) change hands often, and repairing baths and showers between tenants is quicker than replacing them.

Our hiring checklist

How we handle bath resealing in Lye Cross

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are unsealed corners and gaps in the seal.

For a rural address like Lye Cross, tell us about access and parking, and we’ll plan the visit around it.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlord and trade work in Lye Cross

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What affects the price in Lye Cross

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BS40 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Replacement in Lye Cross means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare. Somewhere like Lye Cross needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring everything needed for the bath resealing, so there is no second trip.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space clear if you can

Ask for a price

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 to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
