Bath resealing at your home in Throop
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with a messy previous reseal and black spots in the silicone, we can usually put it right, on basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures alike.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep bottles off the joints
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What we’re called out for in Throop
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Leaks at the edges
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended
- What protection goes down before work starts
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Throop

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
