Bath resealing in Thorpe Audlin, done in place

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Whether it’s damp near the bath and mould you can’t clean out, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

What affects the price in Thorpe Audlin

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we are called out for in Thorpe Audlin

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • An untidy old seal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Mould you can’t clean out

Questions to ask before you book

  • What prep work is covered
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
