Your questions about bath resealing in Great Melton
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you work in Great Melton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Great Melton. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the curing time from us, generally around a day.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Bath resealing in Great Melton without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We’re often asked to fix silicone coming away from the tiles and unsealed corners, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Dry the seal after bathing
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Landlord and trade work in Great Melton
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
Prices and what affects them
There’s no area surcharge for Great Melton. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NR9 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
