Martin Mill: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Martin Mill?
We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your CT15 postcode.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How we handle bath resealing in Martin Mill
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you are dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and a messy previous reseal, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Resealing in Martin Mill: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Air the room after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Movement in the bath or tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
