Bath Resealing for Thorns Green homes
We travel to Thorns Green for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black mould in the sealant
Bath resealing in Thorns Green, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths, and people most frequently call us about a messy previous reseal and gaps by the taps.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps too big for silicone alone

What else we do in Thorns Green
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Resealing in Thorns Green: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What affects the price in Thorns Green
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once

- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material

- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
