Bath resealing for Thornton homes

Bath resealing at your home in Thornton

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Typical jobs include a messy previous reseal and gaps by the taps, in kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thornton

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How we price bath resealing

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

Common questions in Thornton

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Thornton?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Thornton.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Air the room after use
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Fixed prices from your photos

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price
