Our hiring checklist

Bath resealing at your home in Broom Hill

A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s silicone coming away from the tiles and mould you can’t clean out, we can typically put it right, on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What affects the price in Broom Hill

We charge the same across the UK, including Broom Hill. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take around two hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Use the extractor fan

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Broom Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Your questions about bath resealing in Broom Hill

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Do you cover Broom Hill?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Broom Hill and the rest of County Durham. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
