How we handle bath resealing in Throston
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We’re often asked to fix gaps by the taps and damp near the bath, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can pets and children be at home?

Do you work in Throston?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Throston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Common problems we fix in Throston
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black spots in the silicone
- A messy previous reseal
- Unsealed corners
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A flexing bath

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
How we price bath resealing
We charge the same across the UK, including Throston. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
