Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Advice
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Use the extractor fan
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Barkby Thorpe questions
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can tenants book a repair?
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 I use the bath after resealing?
Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What else we do in Barkby Thorpe
What we’re called out for in Barkby Thorpe
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Look out for these signs:
- Damp near the bath
- A messy previous reseal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Mould you cannot clean out
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
- Who will actually do the work
- What aftercare is recommended
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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 normally the cheaper route.
