How we handle bath resealing in Melbourne
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with stained silicone and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Do you need bath resealing in Melbourne?
Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Look out for these signs:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Leaks at the edges
- Old sealant that looks dirty
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work

Melbourne: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you work in Melbourne?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Melbourne from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
Most clients in Melbourne get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
