Bath resealing for Kings Norton homes

How we handle bath resealing in Kings Norton

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about black mould in the sealant and gaps by the taps.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

FAQs for Kings Norton

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you cover the whole of Birmingham?

All of Birmingham, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take around two hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

How we price bath resealing

There is no charge for travel to Kings Norton. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Kings Norton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
