For landlords and businesses

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.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

About our bath resealing in Thorley

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are leaks at the edges and gaps by the taps.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Isle of Wight.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to around two hours.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it 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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Thorley customers choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our pricing.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

FAQs for Thorley

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Which areas do you work in?

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

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

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

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Movement in the bath or tray

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

What we work on

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

Do you need bath resealing in Thorley?

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black spots in the silicone

Before booking anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How to care for the finish

Prices and what affects them

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
