Barton: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Barton and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Do you come to Barton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Barton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What we’re called out for in Barton
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Leaks at the edges
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- An untidy old seal

What bath resealing costs
There’s no charge for travel to Barton. The price depends on:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Barton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
For a price in Barton, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Barton
- Shower trays & enclosures

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
