When to call us in Melvich

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

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

  • Damp near the bath
  • An untidy old seal
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Melvich

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

We do not add 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.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Your questions about bath resealing in Melvich

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do you come to Melvich?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Melvich for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A flexing bath

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

Materials we work on in Melvich

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

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price
