Bath resealing in Marsh Lane

Bath resealing in Marsh Lane, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are mould you can’t clean out and discoloured, yellow sealant.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Marsh Lane

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

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Marsh Lane, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Questions from Marsh Lane

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
