Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Thickwood, Wiltshire
Our technicians come to Thickwood for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
How we handle bath resealing in Thickwood
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We’re often asked to fix sealant that’s split or lifting and an untidy old seal, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- A messy previous reseal
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

Thickwood questions
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you come to Thickwood?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Thickwood and the rest of Wiltshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
How much does bath resealing cost in Thickwood?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Why it’s worth resealing in Thickwood
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 we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How we price bath resealing
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Thickwood. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
If you are in Thickwood and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Air the room after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
