Bath resealing in Little Thurlow

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Bath resealing at your home in Little Thurlow

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Common call-outs are for black spots in the silicone and old sealant that looks dirty, in wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

FAQs for Little Thurlow

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How long does a reseal take?

Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Use the extractor fan

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Little Thurlow as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

Materials we work on in Little Thurlow

Resealing in Little Thurlow: why it matters

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Little Thurlow. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
