Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Brownlow, Wigan
Fixed-price bath resealing in Brownlow and the surrounding area, generally in one visit.
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps in the seal
- Black spots in the silicone
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Bath resealing in Brownlow, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include an untidy old seal and gaps by the taps, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Brownlow
For anyone letting property in or around Brownlow, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
What affects the price in Brownlow
We do not charge extra for travel to Brownlow. The price comes down to:
- The material
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Brownlow: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Why it’s worth resealing in Brownlow
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.

- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Signs you need bath resealing in Brownlow
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Damp near the bath
- Unsealed corners
- Gaps in the seal
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What prep work is covered
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
