For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Bath resealing at your home in Merritown
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we’re called out for in Merritown
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps

Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- No need to remove anything

How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- 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.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Open a window after bathing
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
FAQs for Merritown
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You’ll get the curing time from us, normally around a day.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Merritown and the rest of Dorset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
