Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Common questions in Godmanchester
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Air the room after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Keep bottles off the joints
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
When to call us in Godmanchester
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone smeared on tiles

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths

Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
