What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
Common problems we fix in Handsworth Wood

These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

What bath resealing costs
There’s no charge for travel to Handsworth Wood. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Common questions in Handsworth Wood
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Why reseal now?
Resealing costs very little. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
