How we handle bath resealing in Buxworth
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We’re frequently asked to fix silicone smeared on tiles and gaps by the taps, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes around two hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Work done at your home or business
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Nothing taken out or refitted
See our prices page.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not 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 the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What affects the price in Buxworth
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

FAQs for Buxworth
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Movement in the bath or tray
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Open a window after bathing
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
