Trusted bath resealing in Selly Oak

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Bath resealing in Selly Oak, done in place

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are stained silicone and water getting behind the bath or tray.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Selly Oak and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What bath resealing costs

There’s no area surcharge for Selly Oak. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

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.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

If you manage property in Selly Oak, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

When to call us in Selly Oak

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Stained silicone
  • Damp near the bath

FAQs for Selly Oak

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do you cover Selly Oak?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Selly Oak and the rest of Birmingham. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A flexing bath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Open a window after bathing

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
