Bath resealing for Broadley Common homes

Why reseal now?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Bath resealing in Broadley Common, done in place

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and gaps in the seal, across basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Broadley Common and across Essex.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it 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

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

Questions from Broadley Common

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Air the room after use
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

When to call us in Broadley Common

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Damp near the bath
  • An untidy old seal
