Bath resealing in Thornton, 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 many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s silicone smeared on tiles and gaps in the seal, we can normally put it right.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Your questions about bath resealing in Thornton
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Thornton included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
