Bath resealing in Thorpe Astley without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about a messy previous reseal and silicone coming away from the tiles.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep the joints dry
- Use the extractor fan
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Why it’s worth resealing in Thorpe Astley
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.
