Bath resealing in Thorncross

About our bath resealing in Thorncross

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and unsealed corners.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When to call us in Thorncross

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Common reasons people in Thorncross contact us are:

  • Damp near the bath
  • An untidy old seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Before you book anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We’ll give you the curing time.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

How long will it take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

What do you need from me?

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

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

How we price bath resealing

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes around two hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled 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

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
