Bath resealing in Thornton, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about discoloured, yellow sealant and black mould in the sealant.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Thornton: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Liverpool. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Do you come to Thornton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Thornton and the rest of Liverpool. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- 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.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Air the room after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Signs you need bath resealing in Thornton
Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Leaks at the edges
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps by the taps
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again

How we price bath resealing
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
