Bath resealing in Gayton Thorpe

Bath resealing in Gayton Thorpe without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms, and people most often call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and gaps by the taps.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Stained silicone
  • Mould you cannot clean out

  • Leaks at the edges

Our hiring checklist

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Prices and what affects them

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Gayton Thorpe, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes about two hours for a bath. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

For most jobs, photos 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.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Gayton Thorpe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
