How we handle bath resealing in Thankerton
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s leaks at the edges and missing sealant behind the taps, we can generally put it right.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
We do not add 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.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Thankerton, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Thankerton questions
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A flexing bath
- Hollow or loose tiles
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Do you need bath resealing in Thankerton?
Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- A messy previous reseal
- Leaks at the edges
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What prep work is covered
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
What we do, step by step
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 about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
