About our bath resealing in Throop
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and black spots in the silicone, we can normally put it right, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Throop as everywhere else we work.

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Throop. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
For a price in Throop, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Why it’s worth resealing in Throop
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Signs you need bath resealing in Throop
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- An untidy old seal
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who turns up on the day
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
