Bath resealing in Thorington Street without replacing anything
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Typical jobs include water getting behind the bath or tray and mould you can’t clean out, in kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Air the room after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How we price bath resealing
There is no charge for travel to Thorington Street. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Thorington Street questions
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you cover the entire of Essex?
The whole UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
