Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
How we handle bath resealing in Rubery
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can help, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms alike.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Common problems we fix in Rubery
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Leaks at the edges
- A messy previous reseal
- Gaps in the seal
- Mould you cannot clean out

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
For anyone letting property in or around Rubery, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What else we do in Rubery
How we price bath resealing
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
