About our bath resealing in Castleshaw
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Common call-outs are for sealant that’s split or lifting and unsealed corners, across shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Your questions about bath resealing in Castleshaw
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you come to Castleshaw?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Castleshaw from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Castleshaw. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Use the extractor fan
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
