Common questions in Thornhill Lees
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Do you come to Thornhill Lees?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Thornhill Lees from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time, generally around a day.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How we handle bath resealing in Thornhill Lees
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are old sealant that looks dirty and water getting behind the bath or tray.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Movement in the bath or tray
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, 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.
Can I fix it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
