About our bath resealing in Thornton
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are discoloured, yellow sealant and an untidy old seal.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When to call us in Thornton
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Unsealed corners
- Gaps in the seal
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

What else we do in Thornton
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.
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.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Why it’s worth resealing in Thornton
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
