Bath resealing for Long Marston homes

How we handle bath resealing in Long Marston

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We are frequently asked to fix damp near the bath and mould you can’t clean out, in kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

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

Can I fix it myself?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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?

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Damp near the bath
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Long Marston

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Long Marston is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Do you cover Long Marston?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Long Marston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Use the extractor fan

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

For landlords and businesses

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.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Is resealing worth it?

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. 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.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
