Bath resealing near Lynesack

How we handle bath resealing in Lynesack

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting behind the bath or tray and gaps by the taps.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Your questions about bath resealing in Lynesack

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Do you come to Lynesack?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Lynesack. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Work for landlords and builders

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.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What bath resealing costs

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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