When to call us in Babraham
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Look out for any of the following:
- Gaps in the seal
- Black mould in the sealant
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- An untidy old seal
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- How soon you can use it again
- If travel is included in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
How we handle bath resealing in Babraham
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We’re frequently asked to fix black mould in the sealant and sealant that’s split or lifting, on baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Babraham and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A flexing bath
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths

Landlords, agents and businesses in Babraham
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
For anyone letting property in or around Babraham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Air the room after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Use the extractor fan
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Common questions in Babraham
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Generally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
What affects the price in Babraham
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Babraham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
