How we handle bath resealing in Little Birch

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you’re dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and sealant that’s split or lifting, we can help, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Little Birch as everywhere else we work.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.

What we’re called out for in Little Birch

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the colour is matched
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths

FAQs for Little Birch

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Little Birch. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
