Bath resealing in Broomhouse without replacing anything
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Typical jobs include sealant that’s split or lifting and a messy previous reseal, across kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Air the room after use
- Dry the seal after bathing
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Movement in the bath or tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Common problems we fix in Broomhouse
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black spots in the silicone
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
What your quote should include

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Broomhouse
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Your questions about bath resealing in Broomhouse
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you come to Broomhouse?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Broomhouse from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Why it’s worth resealing in Broomhouse
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
