Resealing in Long Marton: why it matters
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

When to call us in Long Marton
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Stained silicone
- Unsealed corners
- Gaps in the seal
- A messy previous reseal

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Use the extractor fan
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

FAQs for Long Marton
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We will give you the curing time.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What bath resealing costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
