Bath resealing for Lyne Down homes

Bath resealing at your home in Lyne Down

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s mould you can’t clean out and leaks at the edges, we can usually put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Lyne Down and across Herefordshire.

Why it’s worth resealing in Lyne Down

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Work done at your home or business

See our prices page.

What bath resealing costs

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, including clearing up.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re 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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When to call us in Lyne Down

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

Look out for these signs:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Damp near the bath
  • Mould you can’t clean out

Before you book anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

FAQs for Lyne Down

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you work in Lyne Down?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Lyne Down and the rest of Herefordshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Lyne Down. Prices do not change with location.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
