How we handle bath resealing in Broadwell

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are old sealant that looks dirty and silicone smeared on tiles.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How we price bath resealing

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Broadwell. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Broadwell

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Gloucestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Questions from Broadwell

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you cover the entire of Gloucestershire?

Everywhere in the UK, Broadwell included. Travel is included in the price.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Broadwell?

We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Why it’s worth resealing in Broadwell

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Common problems we fix in Broadwell

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Stained silicone
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Unsealed corners

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What preparation is included
  • How to look after the finish
