About our bath resealing in Meriden
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms, and people most often call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and silicone smeared on tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Meriden: your questions answered
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you cover Meriden?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Meriden and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Hertfordshire.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Air the room after use
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly 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.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A flexing bath
- Hollow or loose tiles
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Do you need bath resealing in Meriden?
Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Stained silicone

- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your WD25 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
