Bath resealing in Bromley Cross, done in place
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our technicians work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and black mould in the sealant.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

How we price bath resealing
We do not charge extra for travel to Bromley Cross. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
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 we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Bromley Cross
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hidden water damage
- Hollow or loose tiles
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Bromley Cross, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Common problems we fix in Bromley Cross
In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- Stained silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps in the seal
Before booking anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if they find more damage
- How your room will be protected
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Why reseal now?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
