About our bath resealing in Thornwood
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. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and damp near the bath, we can help, whatever the material.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps by the taps

What else we do in Thornwood
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How we price bath resealing
There is no area surcharge for Thornwood. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Thornwood. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Why it’s worth resealing in Thornwood
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Questions from Thornwood
Do you work in Thornwood?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Thornwood from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Open a window after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
