What else we do in Bacup
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
For a price in Bacup, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Why reseal now?
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. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Your questions about bath resealing in Bacup
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Do you cover Bacup?
We do. We send a technician to Bacup for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep the joints dry
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
The process
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
