About our bath resealing in Brookhay
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are black spots in the silicone and missing sealant behind the taps.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Brookhay as everywhere else we work.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

FAQs for Brookhay
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
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.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Hollow or loose tiles
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Brookhay
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures

- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
Do you need bath resealing in Brookhay?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Gaps by the taps
- Damp near the bath
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps in the seal
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. 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 quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
