Bath resealing at your home in Yardley Wood

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our technicians work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are black mould in the sealant and an untidy old seal.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Yardley Wood questions

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

What does bath resealing cost?

Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your B28 postcode.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Birmingham.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Yardley Wood

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean

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

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 the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

What we’re called out for in Yardley Wood

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black mould in the sealant

Comparing quotes

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

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

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units
