How we handle bath resealing in Thong
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Our technicians work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are damp near the bath and old sealant that looks dirty.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What else we do in Thong
When to call us in Thong
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.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Stained silicone
- Gaps by the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Aftercare advice
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who turns up on the day

Landlord and trade work in Thong
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thong use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Prices and what affects them
We do not charge extra for travel to Thong. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.

FAQs for Thong
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
How long does a reseal take?
Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How long before I can shower?
Typically after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
