Trusted bath resealing in Coal Aston

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Bath resealing in Coal Aston without replacing anything

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. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about leaks at the edges and mould you can’t clean out.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

What bath resealing costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Resealing in Coal Aston: why it matters

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Common questions in Coal Aston

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Air the room after use
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

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 agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes around two hours. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
