Bath resealing in Down Thomas without replacing anything

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Down Thomas and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Down Thomas questions
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Are there extra charges for Down Thomas?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
When to call us in Down Thomas
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Damp near the bath
- An untidy old seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- How soon you can use it again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What prep work is covered

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Get a quote
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PL9 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Down Thomas
If you manage property in Down Thomas, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Resealing in Down Thomas: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- No need to remove anything
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
See our full price list.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Air the room after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
