Bath Resealing for Lower Thorpe homes
We travel to Lower Thorpe for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Stained silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Bath resealing in Lower Thorpe without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for discoloured, yellow sealant and leaks at the edges, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use the extractor fan
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What we are called out for in Lower Thorpe
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Black spots in the silicone
- An untidy old seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps in the seal
Before booking anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What protection goes down before work starts

What affects the price in Lower Thorpe
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Lower Thorpe questions
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
