Bath Resealing in Thursby
Bath resealing in and around Thursby: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps in the seal
- Leaks at the edges
Bath resealing in Thursby without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths, and people most frequently call us about missing sealant behind the taps and silicone smeared on tiles.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- One price list for the entire UK
- No need to remove anything
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Generally one visit, start to finish
See our prices page.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A flexing bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Thursby
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
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.
Thursby questions
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CA5 postcode.
