About our bath resealing in Eddington
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for leaks at the edges and a messy previous reseal, in basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.
In a smaller place like Eddington, most homes are houses or bungalows, and resealing keeps water out of walls and floors.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Common problems we fix in Eddington
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Rented homes near Cambridge station (about 2.7 miles south-east) change hands often, and repairing baths and showers between tenants is quicker than replacing them.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What your bath or shower is made of matters

What else we do in Eddington
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Let steam out after showers
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Dry the seal after bathing
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What affects the price in Eddington
We charge the same across the UK, including Eddington. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge 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’ll come back with a fixed figure.
When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Why it’s worth resealing in Eddington
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. For a home around Eddington where the bath or shower is sound, replacing it is rarely worth the cost and disruption.
