Bath resealing at your home in Upper Thurnham

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are silicone coming away from the tiles and gaps by the taps.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Before booking anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Upper Thurnham customers choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

What affects the price in Upper Thurnham

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
