How we handle bath resealing in Cropper
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are discoloured, yellow sealant and sealant that’s split or lifting.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access

What affects the price in Cropper
We charge the same across the UK, including Cropper. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Signs you need bath resealing in Cropper
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Stained silicone
- Gaps by the taps

FAQs for Cropper
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the curing time from us, typically around a day.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Why it’s worth resealing in Cropper
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. 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. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
