Bath resealing in Heydon without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We’re frequently asked to fix damp near the bath and stained silicone, across shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Heydon and across Cambridgeshire.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Why it’s worth resealing in Heydon

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why Heydon customers choose us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Everything repaired in place

  • Same prices wherever you are

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SG8 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Heydon

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Heydon use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

FAQs for Heydon

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Heydon?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes around two hours. The room is left tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
