Bath resealing in Thorp Arch

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Bath resealing in Thorp Arch without replacing anything

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath or tray and gaps in the seal, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow around two hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Questions from Thorp Arch

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the curing time from us, normally around a day.

Do you work in Thorp Arch?

We do. We send a technician to Thorp Arch for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

When to call us in Thorp Arch

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Unsealed corners
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Aftercare advice
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Leeds and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Thorp Arch

  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units

Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Thorp Arch. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
