Bath Resealing for Fen Street homes
Fixed-price bath resealing in Fen Street and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- An untidy old seal
- Black mould in the sealant
How we price bath resealing
There is no charge for travel to Fen Street. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Bath resealing at your home in Fen Street
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are damp near the bath and discoloured, yellow sealant.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes around two hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fen Street
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Air the room after use
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Signs you need bath resealing in Fen Street
Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Leaks at the edges
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Black spots in the silicone
Before booking anyone
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How soon you can use it again
Materials and what they mean for the repair
