How we handle bath resealing in Branksome
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are unsealed corners and an untidy old seal.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Is resealing worth it?

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Air the room after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Branksome questions
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Branksome.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
What affects the price in Branksome
We do not charge extra for travel to Branksome. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Common problems we fix in Branksome
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Gaps in the seal
