When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A flexing bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

About our bath resealing in Thwaite

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Our technicians work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths, and the jobs we see most are silicone smeared on tiles and sealant that’s split or lifting.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take about two hours for a bath, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Questions from Thwaite

How long does silicone take to cure?

You will get the curing time from us, generally around a day.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How long will it take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What bath resealing costs

There is no area surcharge for Thwaite. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Thwaite, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

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