Bath Resealing for Thurne homes
We travel to Thurne for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Unsealed corners
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Stained silicone
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep bottles off the joints
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, 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. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common problems we fix in Thurne
Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

What affects the price in Thurne
There is no charge for travel to Thurne. The price depends on:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Your questions about bath resealing in Thurne
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How much does bath resealing cost in Thurne?
We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NR29 postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Why it’s worth resealing in Thurne
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
