Signs you need bath resealing in Thorpe Larches
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Damp near the bath
- A messy previous reseal
- Unsealed corners
- Old sealant that looks dirty

Resealing in Thorpe Larches: why it matters
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
See our prices page.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Keep the joints dry
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Common questions in Thorpe Larches
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work in Thorpe Larches?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Thorpe Larches from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long does a reseal take?
Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How long before I can shower?
Generally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
