Bath Resealing in Thurstonland
Bath resealing in and around Thurstonland: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Black spots in the silicone
- Unsealed corners
- Sealant that is split or lifting

What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Thurstonland

Bath resealing in Thurstonland without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are sealant that’s split or lifting and damp near the bath.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Your questions about bath resealing in Thurstonland
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
How long does a reseal take?
Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take around two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Thurstonland, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
