Bath resealing for Top o' th' Lane homes

Can I fix it myself?

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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

About our bath resealing in Top o' th' Lane

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s black mould in the sealant and stained silicone, we can help, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Top o' th' Lane: your questions answered

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Lancashire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you need bath resealing in Top o' th' Lane?

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone

Before booking anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Open a window after bathing

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

See our full price list.

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

  • Open a window if you can
