How we handle bath resealing in Lower Cadsden
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We’re frequently asked to fix water getting behind the bath or tray and gaps in the seal, in wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Lower Cadsden, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, 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. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

FAQs for Lower Cadsden
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Lower Cadsden.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We’ll give you the curing time.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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 normally the cheaper route.
When to call us in Lower Cadsden
