Bath resealing in Sheldon, done in place

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. If you’re dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and damp near the bath, we can help.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Sheldon: your questions answered

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Birmingham.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. 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.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs

Do you need bath resealing in Sheldon?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Damp near the bath
  • An untidy old seal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Black mould in the sealant

Before booking anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How to care for the finish
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

Landlord and trade work in Sheldon

For anyone letting property in or around Sheldon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Air the room after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

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