Bath resealing at your home in Broadmeadows
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you’re dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and gaps in the seal, we can typically put it right.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
When to call us in Broadmeadows
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Unsealed corners
- Gaps in the seal

Broadmeadows questions
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What bath resealing costs
We don’t charge extra for travel to Broadmeadows. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Why it’s worth resealing in Broadmeadows
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Broadmeadows. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
