Bath resealing in Beckwithshaw without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for stained silicone and gaps by the taps, across shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Dry the seal after bathing
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common questions in Beckwithshaw
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Beckwithshaw?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
