Bath resealing near Marley

About our bath resealing in Marley

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We’re frequently asked to fix stained silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting, on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Marley

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

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, so the joint is at its widest.

What affects the price in Marley

There is no charge for travel to Marley. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Marley: your questions answered

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

The whole UK, including all of Kent. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

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?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Common problems we fix in Marley

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Stained silicone
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
