Advice
Bath resealing in Thorpe Hesley without replacing anything
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. Typical jobs include gaps by the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting, across baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Thorpe Hesley questions
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Thorpe Hesley?
Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your S61 postcode.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Landlord and trade work in Thorpe Hesley
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Rotherham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Let steam out after showers
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Do you need bath resealing in Thorpe Hesley?
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A messy previous reseal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Leaks at the edges
- Sealant that’s split or lifting

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on 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.
