Bath resealing in Marston Magna

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Bath resealing in Marston Magna, done in place

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are black spots in the silicone and gaps in the seal.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Common problems we fix in Marston Magna

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Questions to ask before booking

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Air the room after use

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Why it’s worth resealing in Marston Magna

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

See our prices page.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What areas do you cover?

Can pets and children be at home?
