Bath Resealing for Merkinch homes
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Merkinch, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- An untidy old seal
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Bath resealing at your home in Merkinch
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. If you are dealing with a messy previous reseal and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can generally put it right, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Questions from Merkinch
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?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Landlords, agents and businesses in Merkinch
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Merkinch as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What affects the price in Merkinch
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Why it’s worth resealing in Merkinch
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
