About our bath resealing in Thornham
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are stained silicone and gaps by the taps.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Your questions about bath resealing in Thornham
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your OL2 postcode.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you cover the whole of Oldham?
Across the UK, and that includes Thornham. Prices do not change with location.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, 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.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your OL2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Is resealing worth it?

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thornham use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
