How we handle bath resealing in Thatcham

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include gaps in the seal and silicone smeared on tiles, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms 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.

What affects the price in Thatcham

You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Thatcham questions

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How much does bath resealing cost in Thatcham?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your RG19 postcode.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do I need to be at home?

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Do you need bath resealing in Thatcham?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Unsealed corners
  • Mould you can’t clean out

Questions to ask before you book

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled

Our hiring checklist

Resealing in Thatcham: why it matters

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why Thatcham clients choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Everything repaired in place

Read our full price list.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
