How we handle bath resealing in Witchford

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. Common call-outs are for an untidy old seal and discoloured, yellow sealant, in shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Resealing in Witchford: why it matters

Your questions about bath resealing in Witchford

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Which areas do you work in?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

Do you need bath resealing in Witchford?

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Common reasons people in Witchford contact us include:

  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps in the seal

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units

What bath resealing costs

There is no charge for travel to Witchford. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
