Landlord and trade work in Little Heath
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For anyone letting property in or around Little Heath, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Air the room after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair

Your questions about bath resealing in Little Heath
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you work in Little Heath?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Little Heath from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are there extra charges for Little Heath?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Why it’s worth resealing in Little Heath
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
