Bath Resealing in Atherton
Bath resealing for Atherton, without a refit. Get a fixed price from your pictures, then book a visit.
- Stained silicone
- Black mould in the sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
If you are in Atherton and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Related advice
Bath resealing at your home in Atherton
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting behind the bath or tray and an untidy old seal.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Atherton: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Do you cover Atherton?
We do. We send a technician to Atherton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Prices and what affects them
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What we are called out for in Atherton
In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- An untidy old seal
- Unsealed corners
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use the extractor fan
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Atherton
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Wigan and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- Work done at your home or business
- No need to remove anything
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
