Bath resealing for Short Heath homes

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Bath resealing in Short Heath without replacing anything

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Common call-outs are for discoloured, yellow sealant and water getting behind the bath or tray, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Questions from Short Heath

How much does bath resealing cost in Short Heath?

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

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

How long does resealing take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you cover Short Heath?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Short Heath. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Why it’s worth resealing in Short Heath

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Advice

What we’re called out for in Short Heath

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

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Unsealed corners

Comparing quotes

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Landlord and trade work in Short Heath

If you manage property in Short Heath, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Open a window after bathing

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

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
