Bath resealing at your home in Thorpe Acre
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We’re frequently asked to fix leaks at the edges and silicone smeared on tiles, across shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Open a window after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Why it’s worth resealing in Thorpe Acre
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Common problems we fix in Thorpe Acre
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Unsealed corners
- Stained silicone
- Damp near the bath
Questions to ask before you book

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- 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.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Prices and what affects them
You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise 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 pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most clients in Thorpe Acre get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
