Trusted bath resealing in Lyme Regis

How we handle bath resealing in Lyme Regis

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s unsealed corners and mould you can’t clean out, we can normally put it right, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths alike.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

Lyme Regis questions

Do you come to Lyme Regis?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Lyme Regis for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

How much does bath resealing cost in Lyme Regis?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Common problems we fix in Lyme Regis

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

Look out for these signs:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Stained silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Why it’s worth resealing in Lyme Regis

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lyme Regis. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our pricing.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Landlord and trade work in Lyme Regis

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
