Bath resealing in Lickey without replacing anything
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. If you’re dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and a messy previous reseal, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Signs you need bath resealing in Lickey
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Gaps in the seal
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps by the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
What bath resealing costs
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Lickey: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t 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 photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
