What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

10 questions to ask before booking

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep the joints dry

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

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

Shower trays

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

FAQs for Thorpe Langton

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
