How we handle bath resealing in Royston
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We’re frequently asked to fix old sealant that looks dirty and black spots in the silicone, in basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Royston: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We’ll give you the curing time, typically around a day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Royston?
We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your S71 postcode.
Do you work in Royston?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Royston for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
What affects the price in Royston
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Landlord and trade work in Royston
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Do you need bath resealing in Royston?
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Stained silicone
- Gaps by the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Comparing quotes
- What prep work is covered
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
