How we handle bath resealing in Lawthorn
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We are often asked to fix old sealant that looks dirty and silicone coming away from the tiles, across wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Read our pricing.
What bath resealing costs
We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price

Advice
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Air the room after use
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Your questions about bath resealing in Lawthorn
Do you work in Lawthorn?
We do. Technicians travel to Lawthorn from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lawthorn
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Do you need bath resealing in Lawthorn?
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An untidy old seal
- Unsealed corners
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Sealant that is split or lifting
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Hidden water damage
- A flexing bath
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
