Bath resealing near Lyng

Bath resealing in Lyng, done in place

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are silicone smeared on tiles and mould you can’t clean out.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it 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

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

Materials we work on in Lyng

  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units

Your questions about bath resealing in Lyng

Do you cover the whole of Norfolk?

We cover the whole UK, including Lyng and the rest of Norfolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

How long will it take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time, generally around a day.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • The material

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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
