How we handle bath resealing in Aldcliffe
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people contact us are an untidy old seal and black spots in the silicone.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
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.
Common questions in Aldcliffe
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Generally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Aldcliffe. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What bath resealing costs
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Aldcliffe, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it 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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
