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.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A flexing bath
- Hidden water damage
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Air the room after use
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Your questions about bath resealing in Astley Bridge
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time, normally around a day.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
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.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
