Bath resealing in Merrivale

About our bath resealing in Merrivale

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are gaps in the seal and old sealant that looks dirty.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our prices page.

Do you need bath resealing in Merrivale?

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black spots in the silicone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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.

FAQs for Merrivale

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How long before I can shower?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

What affects the price in Merrivale

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Merrivale. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Merrivale

For anyone letting property in or around Merrivale, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

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

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
