Bath resealing at your home in Thorney

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We’re often asked to fix water getting behind the bath or tray and black spots in the silicone, in basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What bath resealing costs

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Common problems we fix in Thorney

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Common reasons people in Thorney contact us include:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black spots in the silicone

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What prep work is covered

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Why it’s worth resealing in Thorney

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Thorney

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

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
