About our bath resealing in Thurcaston

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include leaks at the edges and discoloured, yellow sealant, across shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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.

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to around two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

10 questions to ask before booking

Your questions about bath resealing in Thurcaston

How long does resealing take?

Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Thurcaston?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

What information do you need?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Generally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hidden water damage
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thurcaston use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
