About our bath resealing in Mail

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Typical jobs include silicone smeared on tiles and old sealant that looks dirty, in shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mail

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Mail questions

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Are there extra charges for Mail?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Mail.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Mail included. Travel is included in the price.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

When to call us in Mail

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Damp near the bath
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Before you book anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • How the colour is matched
  • When it can be used again
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Resealing in Mail: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Mail clients choose us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
