Bath resealing at your home in Syston
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include silicone smeared on tiles and damp near the bath, across baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lincolnshire.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

When to call us in Syston
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps in the seal
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Before booking anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How your room will be protected
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow around two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- 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, taps included.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A flexing bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Your questions about bath resealing in Syston
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
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.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What affects the price in Syston
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Let steam out after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
