About our bath resealing in Marehill
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 wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and people most often call us about black spots in the silicone and water getting behind the bath or tray.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

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. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What bath resealing costs
You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Air the room after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Common problems we fix in Marehill
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Leaks at the edges
- Old sealant that looks dirty
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- How the colour is matched
- Who will actually do the work
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Common questions in Marehill
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Marehill.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Usually after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
