Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Why it’s worth resealing in Broomhill

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. 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.

What we’re called out for in Broomhill

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Questions to ask before you book

  • What prep work is covered
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Broomhill

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

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage

Broomhill questions

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

How long before I can shower?

Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How long does a reseal take?

Typically a couple of hours, plus curing time.
