Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Thorpefield. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What affects the price in Thorpefield

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

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

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes 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. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

Common problems we fix in Thorpefield

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

What to look for in a quote

Questions from Thorpefield

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
