Trusted bath resealing in South Hykeham

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Bath resealing in South Hykeham without replacing anything

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you’re dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

10 questions to ask before booking

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Your questions about bath resealing in South Hykeham

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Landlord and trade work in South Hykeham

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lincolnshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What affects the price in South Hykeham

We charge the same across the UK, including South Hykeham. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price
