How we handle bath resealing in Broughton
All of the old sealant is cut out, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you’re dealing with sealant that’s split or lifting and damp near the bath, we can generally put it right.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Broughton: your questions answered
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

What we’re called out for in Broughton
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- An untidy old seal
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Gaps by the taps

Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why book with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- A year’s guarantee on all work

How we price bath resealing
We charge the same across the UK, including Broughton. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Air the room after use
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Broughton
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
