About our bath resealing in Thurlby
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and missing sealant behind the taps, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Let steam out after showers
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
What you get with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
What bath resealing costs
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
For a price in Thurlby, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Signs you need bath resealing in Thurlby
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black mould in the sealant

- How to care for the finish

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
