About our bath resealing in Thrapston
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for black mould in the sealant and gaps by the taps, on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we’re called out for in Thrapston
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps by the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- If travel is included in the price
- What prep work is covered
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire bath or shower

What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, tidy-up included.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
