- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Questions from Birdston
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How much does bath resealing cost in Birdston?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Use the extractor fan
- Open a window after bathing
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
