Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Marksbury, Bath and North East Somerset
Our technicians come to Marksbury for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Gaps by the taps
- Damp near the bath
- Stained silicone
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Open a window after bathing
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
How we handle bath resealing in Marksbury
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for a messy previous reseal and stained silicone, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Marksbury and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Marksbury: your questions answered
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
When to call us in Marksbury
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- An untidy old seal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black spots in the silicone

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
