Bath resealing in Murkle, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s an untidy old seal and missing sealant behind the taps, we can typically put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Murkle questions
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you come to Murkle?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Murkle from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Landlord and trade work in Murkle
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What bath resealing costs
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
