Bath resealing for Thurning homes

How we handle bath resealing in Thurning

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are sealant that’s split or lifting and leaks at the edges.

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

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Thurning, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Do you need bath resealing in Thurning?

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Stained silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Damp near the bath

Questions to ask before you book

  • Aftercare advice
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

Why it’s worth resealing in Thurning

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Take a look at our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you’re in Thurning and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Thurning questions

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What areas do you cover?

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

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Thurning

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

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
