Trusted bath resealing in Chettisham

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 is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chettisham use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Bath resealing in Chettisham, done in place

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are discoloured, yellow sealant and damp near the bath.

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.

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

10 questions to ask before booking

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No need to remove anything

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Common questions in Chettisham

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Chettisham?

We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture 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 no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Chettisham

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

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’ll get a fixed figure back.
