Bath resealing in Shirdley Hill

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

About our bath resealing in Shirdley Hill

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s sealant that’s split or lifting and black spots in the silicone, we can help.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Shirdley Hill

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

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.

Do you need bath resealing in Shirdley Hill?

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Stained silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Unsealed corners

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How to care for the finish

Resealing in Shirdley Hill: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Shirdley Hill customers choose us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our full price list.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Shirdley Hill, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
