Need bath resealing in Aldreth?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Bath resealing in Aldreth without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are unsealed corners and leaks at the edges.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Aldreth: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you cover the whole of Cambridgeshire?

We cover the whole UK, including Aldreth and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

How we price bath resealing

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Air the room after use

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Resealing in Aldreth: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
