Trusted bath resealing in Thurleigh

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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

How we handle bath resealing in Thurleigh

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about damp near the bath and sealant that’s split or lifting.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

10 questions to ask before you book

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Common questions in Thurleigh

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What information do you need?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

How long does silicone take to cure?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thurleigh use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Thurleigh

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

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
