Bath Resealing in Brookthorpe
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Brookthorpe, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps in the seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
How we handle bath resealing in Brookthorpe
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are silicone coming away from the tiles and a messy previous reseal.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Brookthorpe: your questions answered
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your GL4 postcode.
Do you cover Brookthorpe?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Brookthorpe. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Usually after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take around two hours.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Gloucestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hidden water damage
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What affects the price in Brookthorpe
We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
