Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

FAQs for Kelshall

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Do you come to Kelshall?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Kelshall and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Kelshall. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cambridgeshire.

Signs you need bath resealing in Kelshall

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Stained silicone
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Why reseal now?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Kelshall. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  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. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

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.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
