Bath Resealing for Marshwood homes
Local bath resealing for Marshwood: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

About our bath resealing in Marshwood
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and an untidy old seal.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What we are called out for in Marshwood
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
The things clients normally mention when they call include:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Damp near the bath
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Questions to ask before booking

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Prices and what affects them
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Which areas do you work in?

Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
