Bath resealing in Thornes without replacing anything
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are old sealant that looks dirty and silicone coming away from the tiles.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use the extractor fan
- Air the room after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Prices and what affects them
There’s no charge for travel to Thornes. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Thornes, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Signs you need bath resealing in Thornes
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Leaks at the edges
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Stained silicone

Your questions about bath resealing in Thornes
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
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.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Wakefield and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
