Bath resealing at your home in Bordesley

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and the jobs we see most are gaps in the seal and water getting behind the bath or tray.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

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

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Bordesley

What bath resealing costs

We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t 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 we will come back with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Bordesley: your questions answered

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Bordesley?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
