Bath resealing at your home in Thickholme
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about a messy previous reseal and stained silicone.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Thickholme
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Let steam out after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Keep the joints dry
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Common questions in Thickholme
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
How long does a reseal take?
Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Do you work in Thickholme?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Thickholme. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Thickholme.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
