Bath resealing at your home in Merrymeet
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s missing sealant behind the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What affects the price in Merrymeet
There is no area surcharge for Merrymeet. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Merrymeet
If you manage property in Merrymeet, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Questions from Merrymeet
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Merrymeet. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A flexing bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
