Bath resealing at your home in Upper Lyde
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you are dealing with leaks at the edges and mould you can’t clean out, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Upper Lyde, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Upper Lyde: your questions answered
How long does silicone take to cure?
Usually after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
How much does bath resealing cost in Upper Lyde?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Air the room after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
