Bath resealing at your home in Heath End
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and people most often call us about black mould in the sealant and leaks at the edges.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Heath End. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Common questions in Heath End
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How long will it take?
Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Heath End
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Heath End as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Air the room after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Hidden water damage
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

- Baths
- Wet rooms

How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
