Bath resealing in and around Meal Bank: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Black spots in the silicone
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Bath resealing at your home in Meal Bank
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. If you are dealing with discoloured, yellow sealant and mould you can’t clean out, we can help, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes around two hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

FAQs for Meal Bank
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You will get the curing time from us, usually around a day.
Do you work in Meal Bank?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Meal Bank from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Air the room after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
What we’re called out for in Meal Bank
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Look out for any of the following:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
