Bath resealing at your home in Broxbourne
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone coming away from the tiles, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Broxbourne: your questions answered
Do you cover Broxbourne?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Broxbourne and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Broxbourne?
We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EN10 postcode.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
What we’re called out for in Broxbourne
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A messy previous reseal
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps by the taps
- Stained silicone
Before booking anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Movement in the bath or tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
