Bath resealing for Marholm homes

Landlord and trade work in Marholm

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Marholm, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

How we handle bath resealing in Marholm

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. We work on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and damp near the bath.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Common questions in Marholm

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Lincolnshire.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time, generally around a day.

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Are there extra charges for Marholm?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

When to call us in Marholm

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Stained silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
