Bath resealing for Wykeham homes

Bath resealing at your home in Wykeham

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Common call-outs are for discoloured, yellow sealant and gaps in the seal, in basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Wykeham as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Why it’s worth resealing in Wykeham

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Wykeham

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Mould you can’t clean out

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Aftercare advice
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlord and trade work in Wykeham

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Questions from Wykeham

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Do you cover the entire of Lincolnshire?

We cover the entire UK, including Wykeham and the rest of Lincolnshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Wykeham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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