Bath resealing in Oldbury without replacing anything
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. If you’re dealing with an untidy old seal and unsealed corners, we can normally put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms alike.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.
Why it’s worth resealing in Oldbury
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Oldbury. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
FAQs for Oldbury
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Do you cover the whole of Sandwell?
Across the UK, so Oldbury is covered. Prices do not change with location.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
