Bath resealing in Thrupp, done in place
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about mould you can’t clean out and stained silicone.

Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Thrupp. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Your questions about bath resealing in Thrupp
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Do you come to Thrupp?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Thrupp. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
What a repair can’t fix
We’d 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
- A flexing bath
- Hollow or loose tiles
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep the joints dry
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Do you need bath resealing in Thrupp?
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Damp near the bath

- If travel is included in the price
- How the colour is matched
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
