Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Thrupe, Somerset
We travel to Thrupe for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
Bath resealing in Thrupe without replacing anything
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We are frequently asked to fix old sealant that looks dirty and black mould in the sealant, in kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Resealing in Thrupe: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- No need to remove anything
- Generally one visit, start to finish
See our prices page.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Thrupe: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Somerset.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What affects the price in Thrupe
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Common problems we fix in Thrupe
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Gaps by the taps
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Mould you cannot clean out
- A messy previous reseal
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How soon you can use it again
