About our bath resealing in Stretham
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. We’re frequently asked to fix silicone coming away from the tiles and discoloured, yellow sealant, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cambridgeshire.

What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit

- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Common questions in Stretham
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we price bath resealing
We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
If you’re in Stretham and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Keep the joints dry
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Hidden water damage
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
