Bath resealing in Babcary, done in place
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, in a neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and missing sealant behind the taps, we can help.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Common questions in Babcary
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Ventilate the bathroom well
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.

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Why it’s worth resealing in Babcary
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Advice
Do you need bath resealing in Babcary?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Stained silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TA11 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
