About our bath resealing in Thursford
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and unsealed corners.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- 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
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common questions in Thursford
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
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.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Typically after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Resealing in Thursford: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Thursford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Norfolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Let steam out after showers
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
