Bath resealing at your home in Broom Hill

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Typical jobs include silicone coming away from the tiles and old sealant that looks dirty, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

When to call us in Broom Hill

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Damp near the bath
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • An untidy old seal

10 questions to ask before you book

What we can’t put right

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

  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

What bath resealing costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. 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

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Air the room after use

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Broom Hill questions

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Do you work in Broom Hill?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Broom Hill and the rest of Greater London. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
