Bath Resealing in Burnt Heath
Our technicians come to Burnt Heath for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Gaps in the seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Bath resealing in Burnt Heath without replacing anything
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We’re frequently asked to fix leaks at the edges and gaps in the seal, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Burnt Heath and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common questions in Burnt Heath
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
How long before I can shower?
Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Burnt Heath.

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Burnt Heath
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Use the extractor fan
- Let steam out after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- 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.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Do you need bath resealing in Burnt Heath?
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
- Sealant that is split or lifting
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long it needs to cure
Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we price bath resealing
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CO7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
