Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Hockley, Birmingham
Bath resealing in and around Hockley: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.

- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Bath resealing in Hockley, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s damp near the bath and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Common questions in Hockley
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you need bath resealing in Hockley?
Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Damp near the bath
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- A messy previous reseal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price covers travel
- How changes to the job are handled
- How to care for the finish
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Air the room after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What bath resealing costs
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Hockley, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
