When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

Bath resealing in Belthorn, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s a messy previous reseal and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

What affects the price in Belthorn
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Belthorn: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time, usually around a day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Common problems we fix in Belthorn
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Damp near the bath
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps by the taps
- Mould you can’t clean out
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- When it can be used again
