Bath Resealing for Thorpeness homes
Our repair technicians come to Thorpeness for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Black spots in the silicone
- Unsealed corners
- Damp near the bath
How we handle bath resealing in Thorpeness
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. If you’re dealing with an untidy old seal and stained silicone, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Your questions about bath resealing in Thorpeness
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Thorpeness. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Typically because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Open a window after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Common problems we fix in Thorpeness
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Gaps by the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts

Resealing in Thorpeness: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
