Bath resealing in Little Shelford, done in place
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are sealant that’s split or lifting and discoloured, yellow sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What else we do in Little Shelford
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Common questions in Little Shelford
How long will it take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We’ll give you the curing time, generally around a day.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Repairs by material
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Why it’s worth resealing in Little Shelford
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Typically one visit, start to finish
See our pricing.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Let steam out after showers
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can

Prices and what affects them
There is no charge for travel to Little Shelford. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
What we are called out for in Little Shelford
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Damp near the bath
- Stained silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
