Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Over, Cambridgeshire
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone for householders, landlords and businesses in Over. Free, fixed quotes from your pictures.
- An untidy old seal
- Stained silicone
- Mould you can’t clean out
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
Bath resealing at your home in Over
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for silicone coming away from the tiles and black spots in the silicone, in wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cambridgeshire.

Common questions in Over
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What affects the price in Over
There is no area surcharge for Over. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlord and trade work in Over
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Over use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we are called out for in Over
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Stained silicone
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Before booking anyone
- Aftercare advice
- How soon you can use it again
- If travel is included in the price
