Using thermal effective field theory, we present a self-consistent perturbative formulation of the Higgs phase sphaleron rate after a radiatively-induced first-order phase transition. This gauge-invariant formulation is based on dimensionally reduced effective field theory (3D EFT) at high temperatures and paves a way for including higher order corrections within the 3D EFT perturbation theory without double counting. Concretely, we compute the Higgs phase sphaleron rate in a semi-classical approximation within the two-loop resummed 3D EFT. We find compact results for the sphaleron rate and the baryon washout factor as well as criteria for the baryon number preservation by providing a clear connection to the results obtained using a similar 3D EFT description for the bubble nucleation. We demonstrate these calculations for the real triplet-extended Standard Model, and conclude that when all two-loop thermal effects for the matching are accounted, no sufficiently strong one-step electroweak phase transitions exist within the parameter space regime that can be mapped onto the 3D EFT we have considered.
