About our bath resealing in Thornage

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include mould you can’t clean out and an untidy old seal, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

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

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

Materials we work on in Thornage

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

For landlords and businesses

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

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

What bath resealing costs

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Common questions in Thornage

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Thornage.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

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

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

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

What we are called out for in Thornage

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What prep work is covered
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
