Bath resealing in Thorpe

When to call us in Thorpe

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

How to compare quotes

How we handle bath resealing in Thorpe

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Typical jobs include black mould in the sealant and an untidy old seal, across wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Thorpe and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common questions in Thorpe

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Thorpe included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How long before I can shower?

Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

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

Resealing in Thorpe: why it matters

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it

Read our prices page.

What bath resealing costs

There is no charge for travel to Thorpe. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Thorpe, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Air the room after use
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  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

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
