Bath resealing in Merlin's Cross without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. If you are dealing with gaps in the seal and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to compare quotes

Questions from Merlin's Cross

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SA71 postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Pembrokeshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. 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.
