Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Landlord and trade work in Thorpe
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
What we are called out for in Thorpe
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray

Repairs by material
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.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Advice
Your questions about bath resealing in Thorpe
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A flexing bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
