Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Landwade, Cambridgeshire
Bath resealing for Landwade, without a refit. Send us photos for a fixed price, then we come to you.
- An untidy old seal
- Unsealed corners
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
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. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How we handle bath resealing in Landwade
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone coming away from the tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Air the room after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
If you manage property in Landwade, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A flexing bath
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
When to call us in Landwade
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Mould you cannot clean out
