About our bath resealing in Girton
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We’re frequently asked to fix water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone smeared on tiles, across wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Girton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on

Your questions about bath resealing in Girton
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We’ll give you the curing time, generally around a day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you need bath resealing in Girton?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Stained silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Damp near the bath
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Air the room after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
