Bath Resealing for Markyate homes
Our technicians come to Markyate for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Gaps in the seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Leaks at the edges
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
About our bath resealing in Markyate
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone smeared on tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Markyate and across Hertfordshire.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Keep the joints dry
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Markyate: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How long does a reseal take?
Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you need bath resealing in Markyate?
Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Black spots in the silicone
- An untidy old seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- 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.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Movement in the bath or tray
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Why it’s worth resealing in Markyate
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
