Bath resealing for Thompson homes

Landlord and trade work in Thompson

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Bath resealing in Thompson, done in place

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Common call-outs are for old sealant that looks dirty and gaps by the taps, in wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Thompson. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IP24 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Thompson: your questions answered

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you cover Thompson?

We do. Technicians travel to Thompson from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

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

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

When to call us in Thompson

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Mould you cannot clean out
