Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Bath resealing at your home in Clayhithe

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are discoloured, yellow sealant and black spots in the silicone.

In a village like Clayhithe, walls and floors in older homes are rarely perfectly straight, so a careful reseal matters even more.

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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How we price bath resealing

There is no charge for travel to Clayhithe. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Your questions about bath resealing in Clayhithe

Do you work for landlords with property near Waterbeach station?

Yes, we frequently work between tenancies, and we can quote for several properties together.

Will you travel to Clayhithe?

Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Clayhithe is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it. Somewhere like Clayhithe needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. Everything for the bath resealing comes with us in one trip.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price
