Bath resealing in Woodditton without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you are dealing with damp near the bath and unsealed corners, we can generally put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What bath resealing costs
We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price

Related advice
Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Keep the joints dry
- Use the extractor fan
- Air the room after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Woodditton: your questions answered
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Typically because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
Is the work guaranteed?
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?
We cover the entire UK, including Woodditton and the rest of Cambridgeshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How long will it take?
Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Common problems we fix in Woodditton
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A messy previous reseal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Leaks at the edges
- Mould you cannot clean out
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
