What bath resealing costs

There’s no charge for travel to Thorganby. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Bath resealing in Thorganby without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include black mould in the sealant and discoloured, yellow sealant, across baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Air the room after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

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

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes around two hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Thorganby

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • A messy previous reseal

Comparing quotes

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How your room will be protected
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before you book

Common questions in Thorganby

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you work in Thorganby?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Thorganby and the rest of York. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are there extra charges for Thorganby?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Thorganby.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thorganby use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging 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.
