Bath resealing in Blackshaw Moor, done in place
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. If you’re dealing with an untidy old seal and black spots in the silicone, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Blackshaw Moor and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What else we do in Blackshaw Moor
Why it’s worth resealing in Blackshaw Moor
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Signs you need bath resealing in Blackshaw Moor

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Gaps in the seal
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps by the taps

Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

- Hidden water damage
- A flexing bath

Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Open a window after bathing
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
