Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use the extractor fan
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hidden water damage
- Hollow or loose tiles

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common problems we fix in Thornford
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- A messy previous reseal
- Damp near the bath

Prices and what affects them
We don’t charge extra for travel to Thornford. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
