Why it’s worth resealing in Great Shelford
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- No need to remove anything
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Bath resealing at your home in Great Shelford
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and gaps in the seal, we can help, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Great Shelford and across Cambridgeshire.

Questions from Great Shelford
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Are there extra charges for Great Shelford?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
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.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Can I fix it myself?
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 generally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes around two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Shelford
For anyone letting property in or around Great Shelford, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What to look for in a quote
