Bath resealing at your home in Thornton
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and gaps by the taps.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Thornton and across Middlesbrough.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

How we price bath resealing
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
