About our bath resealing in Long Marston

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We’re often asked to fix water getting behind the bath or tray and mould you can’t clean out, in basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Common questions in Long Marston

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us, typically around a day.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Do you need bath resealing in Long Marston?

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Damp near the bath
  • An untidy old seal
  • Black mould in the sealant

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
