Bath resealing in Thongsbridge

About our bath resealing in Thongsbridge

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Our repair technicians work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and a messy previous reseal.

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

Landlord and trade work in Thongsbridge

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 won’t last.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How we price bath resealing

There is no area surcharge for Thongsbridge. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Thongsbridge questions

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

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.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Are there extra charges for Thongsbridge?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

When to call us in Thongsbridge

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
