Bath resealing in Chorlton-by-Backford without replacing anything
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s unsealed corners and leaks at the edges, we can help.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Chorlton-by-Backford and across Cheshire West and Chester.

Why reseal now?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Chorlton-by-Backford questions
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can new silicone go over old?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone will not bond to old.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Cheshire West and Chester. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We’ll give you the curing time, typically around a day.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Air the room after use
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
