Thwaite questions
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Are there extra charges for Thwaite?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
How long does resealing take?
Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Do you come to Thwaite?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Thwaite from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How we handle bath resealing in Thwaite
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and leaks at the edges, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Thwaite
We don’t charge extra for travel to Thwaite. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use the extractor fan
- Air the room after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A flexing bath

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take around two hours, tidy-up included.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
