Bath resealing for Thirlby homes

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath resealing in Thirlby, done in place

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. Common call-outs are for gaps in the seal and an untidy old seal, across basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Questions from Thirlby

Is my repair covered?

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

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Normally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

How much does bath resealing cost in Thirlby?

We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your YO7 postcode.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Thirlby. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your YO7 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow around two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we’re called out for in Thirlby

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps in the seal

Comparing quotes

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Let steam out after showers

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

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