About our bath resealing in Yaxley
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our technicians work on baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are discoloured, yellow sealant and leaks at the edges.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
What affects the price in Yaxley
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep the joints dry
- Let steam out after showers
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A flexing bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Yaxley questions
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
How much does bath resealing cost in Yaxley?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Yaxley.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
