Thornton questions
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How much does bath resealing cost in Thornton?
We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
How long does a reseal take?
Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How we handle bath resealing in Thornton
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Typical jobs include leaks at the edges and mould you can’t clean out, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
When to call us in Thornton
Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- An untidy old seal
- Damp near the bath
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- How the room is protected while they work

- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What affects the price in Thornton
There is no charge for travel to Thornton. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thornton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Let steam out after showers
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Store bottles on a shelf
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
