Common problems we fix in Broughton

Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A messy previous reseal
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Leaks at the edges

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Questions from Broughton
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time, usually around a day.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
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.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Air the room after use
- Dry the seal after bathing
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Broughton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Honest limits

- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
