Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Waterbeach, Cambridgeshire
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone for householders, landlords and businesses in Waterbeach. Send photos for a free, fixed quote.
- Black mould in the sealant
- Leaks at the edges
- Missing sealant behind the taps
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Let steam out after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Store bottles on a shelf
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
How we handle bath resealing in Waterbeach
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are gaps in the seal and old sealant that looks dirty.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Waterbeach as everywhere else we work.

Questions from Waterbeach
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How long does resealing take?
Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Hidden water damage
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Common problems we fix in Waterbeach
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Common reasons people in Waterbeach contact us include:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Gaps in the seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the colour is matched
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Why us?
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We leave the room as we found it

What else we do in Waterbeach
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
