Bath resealing in Cradley, done in place

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are black spots in the silicone and stained silicone.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most clients in Cradley get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Your questions about bath resealing in Cradley

Do you cover Cradley?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Cradley. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Dudley. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

When to call us in Cradley

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • An untidy old seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Aftercare advice
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Cradley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cradley as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

We price from pictures 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 we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints

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

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
