Woodthorpe: your questions answered
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
About our bath resealing in Woodthorpe
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and a messy previous reseal, we can normally put it right.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leicestershire.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
How we price bath resealing
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Woodthorpe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you are in Woodthorpe and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Resealing in Woodthorpe: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
