About our bath resealing in Higher Broughton
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths, and people most often call us about an untidy old seal and mould you can’t clean out.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
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.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

How we price bath resealing
There is no charge for travel to Higher Broughton. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
