FAQs for Thorpe on the Hill

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How much does bath resealing cost in Thorpe on the Hill?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

About our bath resealing in Thorpe on the Hill

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are mould you can’t clean out and gaps by the taps.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Prices and what affects them

We do not charge extra for travel to Thorpe on the Hill. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We do not add 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.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Common problems we fix in Thorpe on the Hill

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black spots in the silicone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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

Landlord and trade work in Thorpe on the Hill

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Leeds and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes around two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

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

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
