How we handle bath resealing in Dalton
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. Common call-outs are for gaps by the taps and stained silicone, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Let steam out after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Landlord and trade work in Dalton
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lancashire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Dalton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
What we are called out for in Dalton
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps by the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Black spots in the silicone

Prices and what affects them
There’s no charge for travel to Dalton. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Dalton, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A flexing bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
