FAQs for Brownlow
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Do you come to Brownlow?
We do. We send a technician to Brownlow for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How long will it take?
Generally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Air the room after use
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Keep the joints dry
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What affects the price in Brownlow
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job without visiting.
When to call us in Brownlow
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Stained silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Mould you can’t clean out
Before you book anyone
- How the colour is matched
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who turns up on the day
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Brownlow, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Why reseal now?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in 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
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
