When to call us in Merley

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Unsealed corners

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Merley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Air the room after use
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Use the extractor fan

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
