Bath resealing near Marden

Bath resealing in Marden, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s unsealed corners and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Marden. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Air the room after use
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

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

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

What affects the price in Marden

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your HR1 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

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, so the joint is at its widest.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

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

Marden: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

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.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down 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’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Do you need bath resealing in Marden?

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Stained silicone
  • Mould you cannot clean out

Before you book anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
