- Damp near the bath
- Gaps by the taps
Common problems we fix in Lyness
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Stained silicone
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps in the seal

Bath resealing in Lyness, done in place
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We work on baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about black spots in the silicone and unsealed corners.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Give the seal a regular clean
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean 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.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
What else we do in Lyness
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lyness use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Why it’s worth resealing in Lyness
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- A fixed quote before booking
- Typically one visit, start to finish

Questions from Lyness
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you come to Lyness?

Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What areas do you cover?

Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
