Choosing a repair company

Bath resealing in Thornaby-on-Tees, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We are often asked to fix an untidy old seal and black mould in the sealant, in basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Thornaby-on-Tees and across Stockton-on-Tees.

Common questions in Thornaby-on-Tees

Does someone need to be in?

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

Are there extra charges for Thornaby-on-Tees?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

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

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Thornaby-on-Tees.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Thornaby-on-Tees?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Generally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

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

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow 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. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

Getting a price is easy: 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 no obligation.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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