About our bath resealing in Broad Oak

A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include silicone smeared on tiles and silicone coming away from the tiles, in basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Broad Oak: your questions answered

Do you work in Broad Oak?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Broad Oak. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How long does resealing take?

Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

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

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • No need to remove anything

See our pricing.

When to call us in Broad Oak

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • Stained silicone
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • An untidy old seal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

10 questions to ask before booking

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Broad Oak

  • Shower trays & enclosures

Landlord and trade work in Broad Oak

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, including clearing up.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How we price bath resealing

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
