Bath resealing at your home in Thornliebank
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are missing sealant behind the taps and black mould in the sealant.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Open a window after bathing
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

- A messy previous reseal
What to look for in a quote

What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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 pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Thornliebank: your questions answered
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Generally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
How long does resealing take?
Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Landlord and trade work in Thornliebank
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thornliebank use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Hidden water damage
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
