What affects the price in Thurlstone

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How we handle bath resealing in Thurlstone

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and mould you can’t clean out, we can usually put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take around two hours.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Air the room after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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

Common questions in Thurlstone

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We will give you the curing time.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can new silicone go over old?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Signs you need bath resealing in Thurlstone

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • An untidy old seal

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the colour is matched
