Glapthorn questions
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
How long does a reseal take?
Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Common problems we fix in Glapthorn
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Stained silicone

- Sealant that’s split or lifting

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A flexing bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Let steam out after showers
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Glapthorn. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Nothing taken out or refitted
