Bath resealing in Marsh Benham without replacing anything
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with damp near the bath and gaps in the seal, we can normally put it right.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Advice
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep the joints dry
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
What bath resealing costs
We do not charge extra for travel to Marsh Benham. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Marsh Benham, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Questions from Marsh Benham
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
When to call us in Marsh Benham
Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps by the taps
- An untidy old seal
- Leaks at the edges
Comparing quotes

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
