Bath resealing for Thorlby homes

Questions from Thorlby

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Do you work in Thorlby?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Thorlby from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Normally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Bath resealing in Thorlby without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Landlord and trade work in Thorlby

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Resealing in Thorlby: why it matters

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

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

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  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. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
