How we handle bath resealing in Thorpe Cross
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Common call-outs are for black spots in the silicone and a messy previous reseal, in kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How we price bath resealing
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Questions from Thorpe Cross
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do you cover Thorpe Cross?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Thorpe Cross from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow around two hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Thorpe Cross
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
When to call us in Thorpe Cross
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
What your quote should include

- Whether the price covers travel
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
