Bath Resealing in Thropton
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Thropton, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- A messy previous reseal
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Black mould in the sealant
Bath resealing in Thropton, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We are often asked to fix black mould in the sealant and leaks at the edges, in basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What else we do in Thropton
Different materials, different repairs
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.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thropton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
If you manage property in Thropton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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 often lifts.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Questions from Thropton
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What we’re called out for in Thropton
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Common reasons people in Thropton contact us are:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Black spots in the silicone
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if they find more damage
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to around two hours, including clearing up.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry
