Resealing in Allen's Green: why it matters
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Allen's Green use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use the extractor fan
- Open a window after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep bottles off the joints
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
