Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A flexing bath
- Hidden water damage
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow around two hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
How we price bath resealing
There’s no charge for travel to Lythe. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
