Bath resealing for South Luffenham homes

Bath resealing in South Luffenham without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for an untidy old seal and discoloured, yellow sealant, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

If you manage property in South Luffenham, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Open a window after bathing

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Common questions in South Luffenham

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes around two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What affects the price in South Luffenham

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you’re in South Luffenham and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When to call us in South Luffenham

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Common reasons people in South Luffenham contact us include:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Unsealed corners
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
