Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Bath resealing at your home in Marshside

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps by the taps and mould you can’t clean out.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Sefton.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Marshside: your questions answered

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will it make a mess?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes around two hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice

Common problems we fix in Marshside

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
