Bath Resealing for Longthorpe homes
Local bath resealing for Longthorpe: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black spots in the silicone
- Old sealant that looks dirty
Bath resealing in Longthorpe, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone coming away from the tiles and black spots in the silicone.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price

Landlords, agents and businesses in Longthorpe
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Peterborough and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Different materials, different repairs
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, with the joint fully dried first.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Longthorpe questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We will give you the curing time, typically around a day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Peterborough, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Air the room after use
- Use the extractor fan
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
