Bath resealing near Thoresby

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How we handle bath resealing in Thoresby

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. We’re often asked to fix mould you can’t clean out and discoloured, yellow sealant, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

FAQs for Thoresby

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

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

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you come to Thoresby?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Thoresby from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

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

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

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

Work for landlords and builders

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

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Thoresby

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

Do you need bath resealing in Thoresby?

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone

Comparing quotes

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price
