Althorpe questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You will get the curing time from us, normally around a day.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Common problems we fix in Althorpe
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Look out for these signs:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
- Leaks at the edges
- Unsealed corners
Comparing quotes
- Who turns up on the day
- How the room is protected while they work
- What preparation is included

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath. The room is left tidy.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Althorpe, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Open a window after bathing
- Dry the seal after bathing
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A flexing bath

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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.
