Bath resealing for Mellis homes

How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Mellis, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Bath resealing in Mellis, done in place

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s mould you can’t clean out and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help, whatever the material.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Air the room after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Mellis questions

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you need bath resealing in Mellis?

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Damp near the bath
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What preparation is included
  • How to look after the finish
  • Who will actually do the work

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlord and trade work in Mellis

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

If you manage property in Mellis, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes around two hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for 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.

Advice

Resealing in Mellis: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. There are no surprise 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.
