How we handle bath resealing in Lyford

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are unsealed corners and old sealant that looks dirty.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lyford

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lyford as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Lyford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Lyford questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Do you charge for travel?

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

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Do you come to Lyford?

We do. We send a technician to Lyford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Prices and what affects them

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

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.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
