About our bath resealing in Chadderton
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and an untidy old seal, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Chadderton
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Your questions about bath resealing in Chadderton
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How much does bath resealing cost in Chadderton?
We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Are there extra charges for Chadderton?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
