The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can

What else we do in Marlow Common
How we price bath resealing
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Marlow Common
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures

FAQs for Marlow Common
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Marlow Common included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Keep the joints dry
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
