Trusted bath resealing in Thornhaugh

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Bath resealing at your home in Thornhaugh

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our technicians work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and black spots in the silicone.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When to call us in Thornhaugh

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Common reasons people in Thornhaugh contact us include:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Unsealed corners
  • Leaks at the edges

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Same prices wherever you are
