How we handle bath resealing in Thorncombe
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and people most often call us about leaks at the edges and mould you can’t clean out.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

When we’d advise against a repair

- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Very wide gaps that need a trim

FAQs for Thorncombe
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Generally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
How long will it take?
Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Thorncombe. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Let steam out after showers
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

How we price bath resealing
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
