Trusted bath resealing in Thorncombe Street

Bath resealing in Thorncombe Street without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for old sealant that looks dirty and black spots in the silicone, across shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Thorncombe Street as everywhere else we work.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Thorncombe Street questions

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Surrey.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Prices and what affects them

There’s no area surcharge for Thorncombe Street. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most clients in Thorncombe Street get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Common problems we fix in Thorncombe Street

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • An untidy old seal

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before booking

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
