How we handle bath resealing in Branbridges

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Common call-outs are for missing sealant behind the taps and old sealant that looks dirty, on baths, wet rooms and basins & vanity units.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Movement in the bath or tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What bath resealing costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TN12 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

Landlord and trade work in Branbridges

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

If you manage property in Branbridges, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
