Our hiring checklist

Bath resealing in Broughton, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are black mould in the sealant and damp near the bath.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What bath resealing costs

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

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

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Broughton: your questions answered

Do you come to Broughton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Broughton and the rest of Milton Keynes. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Broughton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
