Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Bath resealing in Saxon Street, done in place
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and black spots in the silicone, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Why it’s worth resealing in Saxon Street
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units

Saxon Street: your questions answered
Do you cover the whole of Cambridgeshire?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Saxon Street
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- An untidy old seal
- Black spots in the silicone
