Bath resealing at your home in Melchbourne
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include sealant that’s split or lifting and silicone smeared on tiles, across baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Your questions about bath resealing in Melchbourne
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Are there extra charges for Melchbourne?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You will get the curing time from us.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Prices and what affects them
There’s no area surcharge for Melchbourne. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Melchbourne
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Resealing in Melchbourne: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Keep the joints dry
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A flexing bath
- Hidden water damage
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- 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, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
