Bath resealing for Wickham Street homes

Bath resealing in Wickham Street without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s old sealant that looks dirty and a messy previous reseal, we can help, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths alike.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cambridgeshire.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wickham Street

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wickham Street as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

FAQs for Wickham Street

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we are called out for in Wickham Street

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Damp near the bath

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Aftercare advice
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What prep work is covered

What bath resealing costs

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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price
