Landlords, agents and businesses in Thurning

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thurning 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.

For anyone letting property in or around Thurning, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How we handle bath resealing in Thurning

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are a messy previous reseal and water getting behind the bath or tray.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Thurning. What changes the price is:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back

There’s 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’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Thurning questions

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Thurning included. Travel is included in the price.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do you come to Thurning?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Thurning from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

When to call us in Thurning

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Damp near the bath
  • Black spots in the silicone

What to look for in a quote

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What prep work is covered

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
