FAQs for Marpleridge
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Do you work in Marpleridge?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Marpleridge. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
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, for the same reason.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why it’s worth resealing in Marpleridge
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep the joints dry
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
How we price bath resealing
We do not charge extra for travel to Marpleridge. The price comes down to:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
