Bath resealing in Armitage Bridge, done in place
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Whether it’s an untidy old seal and unsealed corners, we can usually put it right, on basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Armitage Bridge and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Air the room after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours, tidy-up included.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What we are called out for in Armitage Bridge
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- Gaps in the seal
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Mould you can’t clean out
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A flexing bath
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
