- Leaks at the edges
- Unsealed corners
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Bath resealing in Menzieshill, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: 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 a messy previous reseal and discoloured, yellow sealant, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Your questions about bath resealing in Menzieshill
How much does bath resealing cost in Menzieshill?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Menzieshill.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Advice
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Why it’s worth resealing in Menzieshill
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
