Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep the joints dry
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Thorpe Thewles, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Thorpe Thewles, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
When to call us in Thorpe Thewles
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- Gaps by the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- An untidy old seal

What we can’t put right

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Questions from Thorpe Thewles
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Thorpe Thewles.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
