About our bath resealing in Thornhill

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and discoloured, yellow sealant, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Does someone need to be in?

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

You do not 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 quote.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep the joints dry

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your FK8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

When to call us in Thornhill

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Stained silicone

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Aftercare advice
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before booking

Why it’s worth resealing in Thornhill

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
