How we handle bath resealing in Harrop Fold
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and old sealant that looks dirty, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Your questions about bath resealing in Harrop Fold
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
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.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Do you come to Harrop Fold?
We do. We send a technician to Harrop Fold for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
