Bath resealing near Sparkbrook

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

About our bath resealing in Sparkbrook

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Typical jobs include old sealant that looks dirty and a messy previous reseal, across kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Sparkbrook: your questions answered

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

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

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How long before I can shower?

Generally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Sparkbrook

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

What affects the price in Sparkbrook

There’s no charge for travel to Sparkbrook. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your B11 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes around two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  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

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Sparkbrook

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sparkbrook use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What we’re called out for in Sparkbrook

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

Customers typically contact us about:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Stained silicone
  • Leaks at the edges

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

Why it’s worth resealing in Sparkbrook

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, 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.
