Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Crankwood, Wigan
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Crankwood, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Leaks at the edges
- Black spots in the silicone
- Old sealant that looks dirty
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How we handle bath resealing in Crankwood
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and sealant that’s split or lifting, on wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Do you need bath resealing in Crankwood?
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps by the taps
- Leaks at the edges
- Black spots in the silicone

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common questions in Crankwood
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Wigan. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How much does bath resealing cost in Crankwood?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no area surcharge for Crankwood. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in Crankwood, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Crankwood
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Wigan and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A flexing bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
