Repairs by material

Baths

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

About our bath resealing in Thorngumbald

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are black mould in the sealant and a messy previous reseal.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Thorngumbald. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Everything repaired in place

Thorngumbald questions

How long does a reseal take?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Are you accredited?

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

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you cover the entire of East Riding of Yorkshire?

Across the UK, so Thorngumbald is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We will give you the curing time.

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep the joints dry

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Do you need bath resealing in Thorngumbald?

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Leaks at the edges
