About our bath resealing in Thinford

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s a messy previous reseal and gaps by the taps, we can help.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Thinford and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Baths

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

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, including clearing up.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.

Resealing in Thinford: why it matters

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Thinford questions

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What bath resealing costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Any details about the material

If you are in Thinford and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thinford

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Do you need bath resealing in Thinford?

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Damp near the bath
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Questions to ask before you book

  • How to look after the finish
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
