How we handle bath resealing in Osbaston

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. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are old sealant that looks dirty and leaks at the edges.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Osbaston and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Osbaston: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you cover Osbaston?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Osbaston. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Osbaston, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
