Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Broom, Central Bedfordshire

Why it’s worth resealing in Broom
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. For a rural home like those around Broom, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while bath resealing is one trip.
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Bath resealing in Broom without replacing anything
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. If you are dealing with unsealed corners and stained silicone, we can normally put it right.
In older homes in a village like Broom, walls and floors can move a little, which is hard on sealant. We seal baths full of water so the joint is at its widest.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Central Bedfordshire.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes around two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work. Somewhere as small as Broom, access is normally the main thing to plan. Once we’re there, the bath resealing works exactly as anywhere else.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space clear if you can

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Air the room after use
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Store bottles on a shelf
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
