- Damp near the bath
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Gaps in the seal
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
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.
About our bath resealing in Tipton
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Typical jobs include gaps by the taps and damp near the bath, on wet rooms, baths and basins & vanity units.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Tipton
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tipton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Why it’s worth resealing in Tipton
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath resealing in Tipton
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
