Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Stapleford, Cambridgeshire
Fixed-price bath resealing in Stapleford and the surrounding area, usually in one visit.
- Damp near the bath
- Stained silicone
- A messy previous reseal
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Bath resealing in Stapleford without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about silicone smeared on tiles and damp near the bath.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

How we price bath resealing
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

When to call us in Stapleford
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Leaks at the edges
- An untidy old seal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Before booking anyone
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Air the room after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What a repair cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A flexing bath
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Questions from Stapleford
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Do you cover the whole of Cambridgeshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Stapleford and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stapleford use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
