About our bath resealing in Mellor Brook
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for mould you can’t clean out and stained silicone, in wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Common problems we fix in Mellor Brook
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray

Mellor Brook: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?

Will there be a smell?

We do. We send a technician to Mellor Brook for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How quickly can you book me in?

Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Open a window after bathing
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
