Landlords, agents and businesses in Mells

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Bath resealing in Mells, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are mould you can’t clean out and water getting behind the bath or tray.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Common problems we fix in Mells

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Stained silicone

Our hiring checklist

Why it’s worth resealing in Mells

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. 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.

Mells questions

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you work in Mells?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Mells and the rest of Somerset. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Mells

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

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

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
