Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Handsworth, Birmingham
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone for homes and businesses in Handsworth and across Birmingham. Free, fixed quotes from your photos.
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Bath resealing at your home in Handsworth
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. We regularly repair baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are stained silicone and mould you can’t clean out.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What else we do in Handsworth
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Handsworth as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

Handsworth questions
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You will get the curing time from us, generally around a day.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Handsworth?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Do you cover the whole of Birmingham?
We cover the entire UK, including Handsworth and the rest of Birmingham. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What affects the price in Handsworth
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
Most clients in Handsworth get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
