About our bath resealing in New Marston

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. If you are dealing with an untidy old seal and mould you can’t clean out, we can typically put it right, on baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in New Marston

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Marston use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What affects the price in New Marston

There is no charge for travel to New Marston. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your OX3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes around two hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for New Marston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Your questions about bath resealing in New Marston

How long does a reseal take?

Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

When to call us in New Marston

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
