Bath resealing in Girton without replacing anything
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for mould you can’t clean out and water getting behind the bath or tray, in kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What affects the price in Girton
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Questions from Girton
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
How long does silicone take to cure?
We will give you the curing time, normally around a day.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Are there extra charges for Girton?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
