About our bath resealing in Barkway
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for black spots in the silicone and gaps by the taps, in shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Your questions about bath resealing in Barkway
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you come to Barkway?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Barkway for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
