Bath resealing at your home in Therfield

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you are dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can normally put it right.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

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

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Therfield

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Therfield use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Therfield, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Do you need bath resealing in Therfield?

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Stained silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

Choosing a repair company

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Use the extractor fan

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SG8 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. 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.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Common questions in Therfield

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Normally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you come to Therfield?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Therfield. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What areas do you cover?

All of Cambridgeshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
