About our bath resealing in St Neot

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Typical jobs include gaps in the seal and stained silicone, in shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What bath resealing costs

We do not charge extra for travel to St Neot. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Why it’s worth resealing in St Neot

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

St Neot: your questions answered

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Are there extra charges for St Neot?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How long will it take?

Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, St Neot included. There is no extra charge for travel.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
