Your questions about bath resealing in Lye's Green

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Usually after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Wiltshire.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

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

Do you need bath resealing in Lye's Green?

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

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

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Stained silicone
  • Unsealed corners
  • Damp near the bath

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Let steam out after showers

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Landlord and trade work in Lye's Green

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lye's Green use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Same prices wherever you are

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

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

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
