Bath resealing at your home in Thornton-in-Craven

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Common call-outs are for stained silicone and missing sealant behind the taps, in basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

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.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thornton-in-Craven

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

When to call us in Thornton-in-Craven

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black mould in the sealant

Comparing quotes

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Thornton-in-Craven

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you come to Thornton-in-Craven?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Thornton-in-Craven. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What bath resealing costs

You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Why it’s worth resealing in Thornton-in-Craven

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our prices page.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
