Bath resealing in Birchwood without replacing anything
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and stained silicone, we can help, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Advice
Prices and what affects them
You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Birchwood. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Let steam out after showers
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Signs you need bath resealing in Birchwood
Sealant does not last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Damp near the bath
- Unsealed corners
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Before booking anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How to look after the finish
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Your questions about bath resealing in Birchwood
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Do you come to Birchwood?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Birchwood for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are there extra charges for Birchwood?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
