Bath resealing in Duxford, done in place
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s unsealed corners and black spots in the silicone, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What affects the price in Duxford
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Let steam out after showers
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
Your questions about bath resealing in Duxford
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Cambridgeshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Duxford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Duxford as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
