Questions from Snailwell
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Snailwell included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
About our bath resealing in Snailwell
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for gaps by the taps and damp near the bath, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- 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.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What bath resealing costs
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Air the room after use
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Signs you need bath resealing in Snailwell
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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 pictures.
