Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Grafham, Cambridgeshire
Bath resealing across Grafham and nearby, typically in one visit.
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps in the seal
- Black spots in the silicone
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Air the room after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Bath resealing in Grafham, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and a messy previous reseal, we can help, on wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common problems we fix in Grafham
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray

Grafham questions
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Are there extra charges for Grafham?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Grafham. Prices don’t change with location.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
