Bath resealing near Bishops Wood

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

About our bath resealing in Bishops Wood

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We regularly repair wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are missing sealant behind the taps and black spots in the silicone.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Staffordshire.

Bishops Wood: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How long before I can shower?

We will give you the curing time.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

How much does bath resealing cost in Bishops Wood?

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your ST19 postcode.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Resealing in Bishops Wood: why it matters

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our full price list.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Signs you need bath resealing in Bishops Wood

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • An untidy old seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • When it can be used again
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take around two hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. 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.

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
