Landlord and trade work in Marlow Bottom

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How we handle bath resealing in Marlow Bottom

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and stained silicone, we can help, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Marlow Bottom as everywhere else we work.

Your questions about bath resealing in Marlow Bottom

How long will it take?

Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you work in Marlow Bottom?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Marlow Bottom from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

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.

How we price bath resealing

You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

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.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Marlow Bottom

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
