Bath resealing at your home in Stones Green

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 silicone smeared on tiles and gaps by the taps, in basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

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

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

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 normally takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Resealing in Stones Green: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No extra charge for your area
  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs

Stones Green: your questions answered

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How long does resealing take?

Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Do you cover Stones Green?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Stones Green for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

When to call us in Stones Green

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Leaks at the edges
  • An untidy old seal
  • Black spots in the silicone

Comparing quotes

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the colour is matched

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
