Bath resealing at your home in Thornhills
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include water getting behind the bath or tray and an untidy old seal, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Thornhills. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common problems we fix in Thornhills
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Gaps by the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone smeared on tiles

Landlord and trade work in Thornhills
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Air the room after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Keep the joints dry
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A flexing bath
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Common questions in Thornhills
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How long will it take?
Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
