Questions from Great Ponton
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Great Ponton?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long will it take?
Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
About our bath resealing in Great Ponton
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Typical jobs include silicone smeared on tiles and silicone coming away from the tiles, across basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

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. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Great Ponton
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
