Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Let steam out after showers
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
What happens on the day
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 usually takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Bickenhill questions
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Bickenhill.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Bickenhill?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you work in Bickenhill?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Bickenhill and the rest of Solihull. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A flexing bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
