Bath resealing in Thornhill without replacing anything
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and unsealed corners, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Why it’s worth resealing in Thornhill
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Questions from Thornhill
Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
The process
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- 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, taps included.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

How we price bath resealing
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
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.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep the joints dry
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
