How we handle bath resealing in Broadmeadows

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are leaks at the edges and old sealant that looks dirty.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Broadmeadows and across Derbyshire.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

FAQs for Broadmeadows

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

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.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure 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.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
