Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Begbroke questions

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Begbroke?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Will it make a mess?

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

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes about two hours for a bath. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  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. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

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

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

What we are called out for in Begbroke

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Mould you cannot clean out

Before booking anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our prices page.

What bath resealing costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
