About our bath resealing in Thurgarton

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Common call-outs are for silicone coming away from the tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Thurgarton as everywhere else we work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thurgarton

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

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

Why it’s worth resealing in Thurgarton

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Thurgarton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How we price bath resealing

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • The material, if you know it

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours. We leave the room clean.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Questions from Thurgarton

Do you work in Thurgarton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Thurgarton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Thurgarton. Prices don’t change with location.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Common problems we fix in Thurgarton

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

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

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
