Questions from Tanwood
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Tanwood included. Travel is included in the price.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Worcestershire.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Bath resealing in Tanwood, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and the jobs we see most are damp near the bath and sealant that’s split or lifting.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Let steam out after showers
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Do you need bath resealing in Tanwood?
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- A messy previous reseal
