Trusted bath resealing in Marlow

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Bath resealing in Marlow, done in place

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with an untidy old seal and old sealant that looks dirty, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Signs you need bath resealing in Marlow

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

Common reasons people in Marlow contact us are:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Leaks at the edges

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again
  • How your room will be protected
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Marlow

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

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

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.

Resealing in Marlow: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Your questions about bath resealing in Marlow

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How much does bath resealing cost in Marlow?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How long before I can shower?

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

Are there extra charges for Marlow?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

How we price bath resealing

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
