Bath resealing at your home in Ashton-in-Makerfield
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps by the taps and silicone smeared on tiles.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- 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
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A flexing bath

Ashton-in-Makerfield questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
When to call us in Ashton-in-Makerfield
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Unsealed corners
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- A messy previous reseal

Landlord and trade work in Ashton-in-Makerfield
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Why it’s worth resealing in Ashton-in-Makerfield
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
