FAQs for Lyminster

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How long does silicone take to cure?

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

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Are there extra charges for Lyminster?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Lyminster included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

How much does bath resealing cost in Lyminster?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

How we handle bath resealing in Lyminster

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are silicone smeared on tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your BN17 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Why it’s worth resealing in Lyminster

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
