Bath resealing in Sapley, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most often call us about black spots in the silicone and missing sealant behind the taps.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Sapley as everywhere else we work.

What bath resealing costs
There is no area surcharge for Sapley. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Resealing in Sapley: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Sapley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Air the room after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
FAQs for Sapley
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Do you cover the entire of Cambridgeshire?
The entire UK, including all of Cambridgeshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover Sapley?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Sapley. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What we’re called out for in Sapley
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Look out for any of the following:
- An untidy old seal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Stained silicone
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find more damage
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Aftercare advice
The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
