Landlord and trade work in Lyons
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Bath resealing at your home in Lyons
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include black mould in the sealant and missing sealant behind the taps, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep the joints dry
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What else we do in Lyons
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
How we price bath resealing
There’s no charge for travel to Lyons. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
