What affects the price in Ely
You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Ely, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Bath resealing in Ely, done in place
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you’re dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and leaks at the edges, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Open a window after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Ely

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Why it’s worth resealing in Ely
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Ely questions
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Ely?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
