Bath Resealing for Marshgate homes
Our repair technicians come to Marshgate for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Stained silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps by the taps
Bath resealing at your home in Marshgate
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s leaks at the edges and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can generally put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PL32 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Signs you need bath resealing in Marshgate
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps in the seal
- A messy previous reseal
- Black mould in the sealant
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Aftercare advice
- If travel is included in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price

Common questions in Marshgate
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Why it’s worth resealing in Marshgate
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
