Bath Resealing in Lidgate
Our technicians come to Lidgate for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Unsealed corners
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Leaks at the edges
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

What affects the price in Lidgate
We charge the same across the UK, including Lidgate. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we’re called out for in Lidgate
Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- An untidy old seal
- Unsealed corners
- Gaps in the seal
- Mould you can’t clean out
Questions to ask before booking
- How to care for the finish
- How long it needs to cure
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price covers travel
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lidgate use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Questions from Lidgate
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Do you cover the whole of Cambridgeshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Lidgate included. There is no extra charge for travel.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lidgate. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
