About our bath resealing in Thorpe
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s a messy previous reseal and black spots in the silicone, we can help, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Same prices wherever you are
- Everything repaired in place
- One-year guarantee on every repair

What affects the price in Thorpe
You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
FAQs for Thorpe
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you cover Thorpe?
We do. We send a technician to Thorpe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Thorpe included. Travel is included in the price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Common problems we fix in Thorpe
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Look out for these signs:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps in the seal
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Aftercare advice
- What prep work is covered
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
