Common questions in Bastwell
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What areas do you cover?
All of Blackburn with Darwen, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We will give you the curing time, normally around a day.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
Do you need bath resealing in Bastwell?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Mould you can’t clean out
- A messy previous reseal
- Unsealed corners
- Discoloured, yellow sealant

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

What affects the price in Bastwell
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
