Bath resealing at your home in Thornhill
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and leaks at the edges, we can help.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Your questions about bath resealing in Thornhill
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
How long will it take?
Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How much does bath resealing cost in Thornhill?
We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your WF12 postcode.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
We do not 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
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in Thornhill, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Resealing in Thornhill: why it matters
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- A fixed quote before you book
- Same prices wherever you are

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thornhill as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Common problems we fix in Thornhill
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Gaps by the taps
- An untidy old seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Sealant that’s split or lifting

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
