How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Bath resealing in Fowlmere, done in place

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our technicians work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and mould you can’t clean out.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Questions from Fowlmere

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

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.

Do you need bath resealing in Fowlmere?

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Stained silicone

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Keep the joints dry

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from pictures so you do not 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.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

If you manage property in Fowlmere, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We do not 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.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
