How we handle bath resealing in Melrose
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include silicone coming away from the tiles and black mould in the sealant, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A flexing bath
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

When to call us in Melrose
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Leaks at the edges
- An untidy old seal

Why reseal now?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Typically one visit, start to finish
Take a look at our prices page.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Let steam out after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Common questions in Melrose
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you cover Melrose?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Melrose from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your TD6 postcode.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take around two hours, tidy-up included.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
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.
Advice
What affects the price in Melrose
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
