Bath resealing for West Smethwick homes

Bath resealing in West Smethwick without replacing anything

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and unsealed corners, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

When to call us in West Smethwick

In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Unsealed corners
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in West Smethwick, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hidden water damage

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in West Smethwick

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Smethwick use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
