When to call us in Marston Moretaine
Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Look out for these signs:
- Gaps by the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- A messy previous reseal
- Black mould in the sealant
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Marston Moretaine: your questions answered
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you cover the whole of Bedford Borough?
Everywhere in the UK, Marston Moretaine included. Travel is included in the price.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Marston Moretaine. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
