About our bath resealing in Upper Broadheath
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Our repair technicians work on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are old sealant that looks dirty and gaps in the seal.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Your questions about bath resealing in Upper Broadheath
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the curing time from us.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
If you’re in Upper Broadheath and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What else we do in Upper Broadheath
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Open a window after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Upper Broadheath
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Broadheath use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on 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.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
There’s 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 will reply with a fixed quote.
