About our bath resealing in Arbury

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you are dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and an untidy old seal, we can help, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Arbury as everywhere else we work.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price bath resealing

We don’t charge extra for travel to Arbury. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, 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 by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

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

Arbury: your questions answered

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Do you cover the entire of Cambridgeshire?

The entire UK, including all of Cambridgeshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
