DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
About our bath resealing in Thornthwaite
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you’re dealing with water getting behind the bath or tray and an untidy old seal, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Why it’s worth resealing in Thornthwaite
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Thornthwaite: your questions answered
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You will get the curing time from us.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Do you cover Thornthwaite?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Thornthwaite for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What bath resealing costs
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
