DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Questions from Houghton
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cambridgeshire.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Air the room after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
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.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we are called out for in Houghton
Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray

How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PE28 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
