How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Use the extractor fan
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Open a window after bathing
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What else we do in Brafferton
Why it’s worth resealing in Brafferton
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Questions from Brafferton
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Generally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Are there extra charges for Brafferton?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
