Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your WA16 postcode.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Mere.

Why it’s worth resealing in Mere
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What a repair cannot fix

What bath resealing costs
There is no area surcharge for Mere. What changes the price is:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
