Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Thornby, Northamptonshire
Bath resealing in and around Thornby: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Stained silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- An untidy old seal
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep the joints dry
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Bath resealing at your home in Thornby
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include black spots in the silicone and water getting behind the bath or tray, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Thornby as everywhere else we work.

Common problems we fix in Thornby
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Before you book anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if they find more damage
- How soon you can use it again
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Questions from Thornby
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Generally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Normally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- 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
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
