Cradley: your questions answered
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Normally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Cradley is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Bath resealing at your home in Cradley
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone smeared on tiles, we can typically put it right.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
Signs you need bath resealing in Cradley
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Stained silicone
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- 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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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.
