FAQs for Macmerry

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you cover the entire of East Lothian?

We work UK-wide, so Macmerry is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

About our bath resealing in Macmerry

All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s sealant that’s split or lifting and a messy previous reseal, we can help, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Macmerry

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

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we’re called out for in Macmerry

Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Leaks at the edges

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How your room will be protected
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

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

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Air the room after use

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean 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.

Why it’s worth resealing in Macmerry

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Macmerry. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
