About our bath resealing in Thornsett
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about a messy previous reseal and missing sealant behind the taps.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

FAQs for Thornsett
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Store bottles on a shelf
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Landlord and trade work in Thornsett
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
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.
What affects the price in Thornsett
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The process
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the area is dry

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
Do you need bath resealing in Thornsett?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the colour is matched
- How the room is protected while they work
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
