Resealing in Cherry Hinton: why it matters
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why Cherry Hinton clients choose us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

- Most jobs done in one visit

Bath resealing in Cherry Hinton, done in place
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you are dealing with discoloured, yellow sealant and silicone smeared on tiles, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes around two hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep the joints dry
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Open a window after bathing
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What bath resealing costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Cherry Hinton. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Cherry Hinton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Common questions in Cherry Hinton
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
How much does bath resealing cost in Cherry Hinton?
We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Common problems we fix in Cherry Hinton
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
- Unsealed corners
- An untidy old seal
Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What protection goes down before work starts
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
