Bath resealing at your home in Higher Marston

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. We are often asked to fix black mould in the sealant and stained silicone, across kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Higher Marston questions

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Higher Marston?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

What we are called out for in Higher Marston

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Before booking anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How your room will be protected
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours, depending on what we find, 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. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Higher Marston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Resealing in Higher Marston: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
