How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Air the room after use
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Give the seal a regular clean

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Cringleford: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are there extra charges for Cringleford?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What does bath resealing cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

What affects the price in Cringleford

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
