What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 normally cheaper.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Give the seal a regular clean
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What else we do in Thornhill
Your questions about bath resealing in Thornhill
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
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.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Are there extra charges for Thornhill?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Common problems we fix in Thornhill
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Leaks at the edges
- An untidy old seal

The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
