Bath resealing in Thorney, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about gaps in the seal and stained silicone.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

DIY kit or professional 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.
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.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Prices and what affects them
You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Resealing in Thorney: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thorney use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A flexing bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Thorney questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Thorney?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
