About our bath resealing in Thornes
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We are often asked to fix an untidy old seal and silicone coming away from the tiles, in kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
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, for the same reason.
What we are called out for in Thornes
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- How the room is protected while they work
- How to care for the finish
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. 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.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One price list for the whole UK
- Everything repaired in place
- Fixed prices from your pictures

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Common questions in Thornes
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Thornes?
We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your WS9 postcode.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

What affects the price in Thornes

- What kind of damage it is
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
