Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Thorpe Arnold, Leicestershire

- Gaps by the taps

How we handle bath resealing in Thorpe Arnold
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and discoloured, yellow sealant, across baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. 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 cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What we’re called out for in Thorpe Arnold
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Damp near the bath
- Black spots in the silicone
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

Landlord and trade work in Thorpe Arnold

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Thorpe Arnold, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Air the room after use
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A flexing bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Resealing in Thorpe Arnold: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
