How we handle bath resealing in Pockthorpe
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with an untidy old seal and gaps by the taps, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Pockthorpe
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How we price bath resealing
You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Open a window after bathing
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
