Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Smithfield, Birmingham
Our technicians come to Smithfield for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Leaks at the edges
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Keep the joints dry
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Bath resealing at your home in Smithfield
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about stained silicone and leaks at the edges.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
FAQs for Smithfield
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What does bath resealing cost?
We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your B5 postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Common problems we fix in Smithfield
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Look out for these signs:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Damp near the bath

What affects the price in Smithfield
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your B5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One visit for most repairs
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
