Bath resealing in Broadley Fold without replacing anything
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are silicone smeared on tiles and sealant that’s split or lifting.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Your questions about bath resealing in Broadley Fold
Which areas do you work in?
All of Rochdale, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How much does bath resealing cost in Broadley Fold?
We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
How long does a reseal take?
Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
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.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Prices and what affects them

- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep bottles off the joints
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Why it’s worth resealing in Broadley Fold
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
