Bath Resealing for Bannister Green homes
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Bannister Green, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Sealant that is split or lifting
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
How we handle bath resealing in Bannister Green
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are silicone coming away from the tiles and silicone smeared on tiles.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Signs you need bath resealing in Bannister Green
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Gaps by the taps
- Damp near the bath
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps in the seal

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Why it’s worth resealing in Bannister Green
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
