Bath resealing in Maresfield without replacing anything
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Typical jobs include missing sealant behind the taps and black spots in the silicone, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Advice
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Air the room after use
- Use the extractor fan
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hidden water damage
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Why it’s worth resealing in Maresfield
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Questions from Maresfield
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
How long does resealing take?
Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Access to the area
- The material
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Maresfield, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
