Bath resealing for Mardu homes

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

How we handle bath resealing in Mardu

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We are frequently asked to fix leaks at the edges and gaps in the seal, across wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mardu as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we price bath resealing

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Mardu questions

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Do you work in Mardu?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Mardu from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  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. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
