Bath resealing for Thornhill homes

Bath resealing at your home in Thornhill

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and damp near the bath, we can typically put it right, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths alike.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in Thornhill

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Air the room after use

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Choosing a repair company

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
