Need bath resealing in Lye?

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hidden water damage

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

How we handle bath resealing in Lye

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 work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are unsealed corners and black spots in the silicone.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Questions from Lye

Do you come to Lye?

We do. Technicians travel to Lye from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Normally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Prices and what affects them

There’s no charge for travel to Lye. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

Most clients in Lye get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlord and trade work in Lye

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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

Common problems we fix in Lye

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Give the seal a regular clean

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

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