Bath resealing for Wilburton homes

What we’re called out for in Wilburton

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Common reasons people in Wilburton contact us are:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • An untidy old seal

Before booking anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before you book

Bath resealing in Wilburton 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. Typical jobs include a messy previous reseal and sealant that’s split or lifting, on baths, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Wilburton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

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 take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wilburton

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Wilburton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Your questions about bath resealing in Wilburton

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Cambridgeshire.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will it make a mess?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
