Bath resealing in Crackenthorpe without replacing anything
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Typical jobs include black spots in the silicone and discoloured, yellow sealant, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Open a window after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Crackenthorpe: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

If you manage property in Crackenthorpe, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Crackenthorpe, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
