How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
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.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Open a window after bathing
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, 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 it’s worth resealing in Thorpe on the Hill
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What affects the price in Thorpe on the Hill
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Thorpe on the Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
