Bath resealing near Melon Green

Bath resealing in Melon Green without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and mould you can’t clean out, in baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Melon Green

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Melon Green

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • A messy previous reseal

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
