About our bath resealing in Sandwell
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and old sealant that looks dirty, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Sandwell as everywhere else we work.

Sandwell: your questions answered
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work in Sandwell?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Sandwell. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How much does bath resealing cost in Sandwell?
We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your B66 postcode.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
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.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
When to call us in Sandwell
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Stained silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Mould you cannot clean out
Comparing quotes
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Who will actually do the work

Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your B66 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Birmingham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Air the room after use
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
