How we handle bath resealing in Marple
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include missing sealant behind the taps and silicone smeared on tiles, in wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Marple and across Stockport.

Common questions in Marple
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you cover the whole of Stockport?
Everywhere in the UK, Marple included. Travel is included in the price.

Signs you need bath resealing in Marple

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

Landlord and trade work in Marple
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Marple use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
