Bath resealing in Broomhill

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Bath resealing in Broomhill without replacing anything

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s stained silicone and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can help, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and basins & vanity units alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Signs you need bath resealing in Broomhill

Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • An untidy old seal
  • Damp near the bath

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

Questions from Broomhill

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hidden water damage

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

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

What bath resealing costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Broomhill, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
