Bath resealing in Thorpe Green 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. Common call-outs are for black mould in the sealant and silicone smeared on tiles, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 photos, as it can add time.
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.
FAQs for Thorpe Green
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Do you need bath resealing in Thorpe Green?
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An untidy old seal
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Gaps in the seal
- Leaks at the edges
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Advice
What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most clients in Thorpe Green get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
