Bath resealing for Broadford homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

How we handle bath resealing in Broadford

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about a messy previous reseal and black spots in the silicone.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Surrey.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We ensure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Broadford

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Broadford as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Broadford

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

How we price bath resealing

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

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

Most clients in Broadford get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Questions from Broadford

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
