Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Great Stukeley, Cambridgeshire
Bath resealing across Great Stukeley and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Black mould in the sealant
- Stained silicone
- Gaps in the seal
Bath resealing in Great Stukeley, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about unsealed corners and discoloured, yellow sealant.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow around two hours.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Great Stukeley questions
Are there extra charges for Great Stukeley?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cambridgeshire.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Common problems we fix in Great Stukeley
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Missing sealant behind the taps

- Black spots in the silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Before booking anyone

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Stukeley
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How we price bath resealing
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
