Bath resealing near Longbridge

Bath resealing in Longbridge, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include a messy previous reseal and unsealed corners, in shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Birmingham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Longbridge. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Longbridge clients choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Longbridge questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep the joints dry

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

When to call us in Longbridge

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Mould you can’t clean out

Questions to ask before you book

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
