Bath resealing in Solihull Lodge, done in place

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. Common call-outs are for black spots in the silicone and gaps by the taps, in baths, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What bath resealing costs

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

What we’re called out for in Solihull Lodge

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

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.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Solihull Lodge: your questions answered

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How long does silicone take to cure?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
