Bath resealing in Thorntonhall without replacing anything
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are damp near the bath and old sealant that looks dirty.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Open a window after bathing
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What affects the price in Thorntonhall
We charge the same across the UK, including Thorntonhall. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
