How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Bath resealing at your home in Thorpe Malsor

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are old sealant that looks dirty and silicone smeared on tiles.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northamptonshire.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Wet rooms

What bath resealing costs

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What we’re called out for in Thorpe Malsor

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Gaps by the taps
  • An untidy old seal

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Questions from Thorpe Malsor

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you cover Thorpe Malsor?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Thorpe Malsor and the rest of Northamptonshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
