Bath resealing in Marldon, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and black spots in the silicone.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Marldon questions
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the curing time from us.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep the joints dry
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Marldon. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
If you’re in Marldon and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Why it’s worth resealing in Marldon
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
