What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles

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

Materials we work on in Marcham

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

Bath resealing in Marcham, done in place

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair baths, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are gaps by the taps and damp near the bath.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most clients in Marcham get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Use the extractor fan

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  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. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Choosing a repair company

Marcham questions

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.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
