How we handle bath resealing in Meadowbank
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about mould you can’t clean out and old sealant that looks dirty.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, 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.
Do you need bath resealing in Meadowbank?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Gaps by the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
For anyone letting property in or around Meadowbank, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Hidden water damage

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Keep the joints dry
- Open a window after bathing
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
