Prices and what affects them
We do not charge extra for travel to Merton. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Merton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you’re in Merton and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Bath resealing at your home in Merton
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. Our technicians work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are black spots in the silicone and gaps in the seal.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A flexing bath
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Merton questions
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
