How we handle bath resealing in Thornley
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about gaps by the taps and old sealant that looks dirty.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Thornley and across County Durham.

Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why Thornley clients choose us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Most jobs done in one visit
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- One-year guarantee on every repair

I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you cover the entire of County Durham?
All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Do you need bath resealing in Thornley?
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Gaps by the taps
- Damp near the bath
- Mould you can’t clean out

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Air the room after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
