About our bath resealing in Bigrigg
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. We’re frequently asked to fix silicone smeared on tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray, in kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Bigrigg and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Common questions in Bigrigg
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you work in Bigrigg?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Bigrigg from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What affects the price in Bigrigg
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Do you need bath resealing in Bigrigg?
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps by the taps
- Stained silicone
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone smeared on tiles
Before you book anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
