Why it’s worth resealing in Thorpe Salvin
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What prep work is covered
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Keep the joints dry
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price

Can I fix it myself?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we price bath resealing
We don’t charge extra for travel to Thorpe Salvin. The price comes down to:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Common questions in Thorpe Salvin
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
