Bath resealing at your home in Thorpe Abbotts
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath or tray and mould you can’t clean out.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What else we do in Thorpe Abbotts
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles on a shelf
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Thorpe Abbotts questions
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Are there extra charges for Thorpe Abbotts?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
What we do, step by step
On the day, 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’re 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.

- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
