Bath resealing for Bearwood homes

How we handle bath resealing in Bearwood

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for an untidy old seal and black spots in the silicone, across kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths
  • Wet rooms

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

What affects the price in Bearwood

We charge the same across the UK, including Bearwood. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

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

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

FAQs for Bearwood

Are there extra charges for Bearwood?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Birmingham.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What we’re called out for in Bearwood

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Damp near the bath
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
