Bath resealing at your home in Thirsk

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you are dealing with an untidy old seal and gaps by the taps, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage

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

Materials we work on in Thirsk

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Thirsk questions

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Do you work in Thirsk?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Thirsk and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Thirsk?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time, generally around a day.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What we are called out for in Thirsk

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps in the seal

Questions to ask before you book

  • How to care for the finish
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What preparation is included

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thirsk

For anyone letting property in or around Thirsk, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thirsk use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What affects the price in Thirsk

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Thirsk. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

Most customers in Thirsk get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
