What we are called out for in Branchton
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Black spots in the silicone
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

Bath resealing at your home in Branchton
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the whole room look cleaner, and they keep water out. If you are dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and mould you can’t clean out, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Your questions about bath resealing in Branchton
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Branchton.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Branchton. Prices don’t change with location.
Are there extra charges for Branchton?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you work in Branchton?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Branchton and the rest of Inverclyde. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 generally cheaper.
