Your questions about bath resealing in Far Thrupp
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Are there extra charges for Far Thrupp?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

- Gaps in the seal
- Leaks at the edges
- Black mould in the sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps

Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on

How we price bath resealing
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A flexing bath
- Hollow or loose tiles
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
