Bath resealing at your home in Great Thurlow

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. If you are dealing with an untidy old seal and unsealed corners, we can help, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What affects the price in Great Thurlow

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
