Bath resealing at your home in Dudley
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Your questions about bath resealing in Dudley
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Generally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.
Are there extra charges for Dudley?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

What else we do in Dudley
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Do you need bath resealing in Dudley?
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Stained silicone
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Gaps by the taps

How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Dudley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
