Bath resealing near Marston St Lawrence

Bath resealing at your home in Marston St Lawrence

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We’re frequently asked to fix discoloured, yellow sealant and silicone smeared on tiles, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Marston St Lawrence and across Northamptonshire.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep the joints dry

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Marston St Lawrence: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Marston St Lawrence?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Usually after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What bath resealing costs

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes around two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

Resealing in Marston St Lawrence: why it matters

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why Marston St Lawrence clients choose us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What we’re called out for in Marston St Lawrence

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Stained silicone
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What prep work is covered
