Need bath resealing in Meavy?

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Bath resealing at your home in Meavy

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Typical jobs include mould you can’t clean out and missing sealant behind the taps, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

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

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Air the room after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Use the extractor fan

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, generally around 24 hours.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Meavy questions

Why does mould come back so fast?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Meavy?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Why it’s worth resealing in Meavy

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Take a look at our pricing.

What affects the price in Meavy

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Meavy. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PL20 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
