How we handle bath resealing in Thorley
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and gaps by the taps, we can help, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we’re called out for in Thorley
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Look out for any of the following:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

Questions from Thorley
How long does silicone take to cure?
Usually after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How much does bath resealing cost in Thorley?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Typically because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
