What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

When to call us in Thorpe-le-Soken
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Common reasons people in Thorpe-le-Soken contact us are:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- A messy previous reseal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
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. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
Thorpe-le-Soken: your questions answered
How much does bath resealing cost in Thorpe-le-Soken?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
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.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Let steam out after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
