Bath resealing in New Oscott, done in place

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. If you’re dealing with old sealant that looks dirty and black spots in the silicone, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in New Oscott and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Signs you need bath resealing in New Oscott

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant

10 questions to ask before booking

Your questions about bath resealing in New Oscott

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Birmingham.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Why it’s worth resealing in New Oscott

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Open a window after bathing

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

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Wet rooms
  • Baths
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
