How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower

Most clients in Broadgate get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Bath resealing at your home in Broadgate

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s black mould in the sealant and leaks at the edges, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • An untidy old seal
  • Leaks at the edges

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairs by material

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Resealing in Broadgate: why it matters

Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Broadgate questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Do you cover Broadgate?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Broadgate. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for around two hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
