Bath resealing for Sawston homes

About our bath resealing in Sawston

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you are dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and gaps in the seal, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we are called out for in Sawston

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Unsealed corners
  • Gaps in the seal
  • A messy previous reseal

Questions to ask before you book

  • Aftercare advice
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Hidden water damage
  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What bath resealing costs

There is no charge for travel to Sawston. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you’re in Sawston and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
