Bath resealing in Lye Hole without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We’re often asked to fix stained silicone and missing sealant behind the taps, across kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in Lye Hole
There’s no area surcharge for Lye Hole. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
If you manage property in Lye Hole, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Lye Hole questions
How long does silicone take to cure?
Typically after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Normally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you cover Lye Hole?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Lye Hole from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Air the room after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Signs you need bath resealing in Lye Hole
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- An untidy old seal
- Mould you can’t clean out
Before you book anyone
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How soon you can use it again
How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
