Bath resealing near Thorpe Tilney

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A flexing bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How we handle bath resealing in Thorpe Tilney

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Whether it’s mould you can’t clean out and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can generally put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Common questions in Thorpe Tilney

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Signs you need bath resealing in Thorpe Tilney

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
