Bath resealing for Elmdon homes

About our bath resealing in Elmdon

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are black mould in the sealant and silicone smeared on tiles.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Elmdon

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Unsealed corners
  • Gaps in the seal

Comparing quotes

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Elmdon

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Elmdon: your questions answered

Do you come to Elmdon?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Elmdon for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Solihull. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Solihull and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Why it’s worth resealing in Elmdon

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
