Bath resealing at your home in Downholland Cross
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We are often asked to fix discoloured, yellow sealant and sealant that’s split or lifting, in basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What else we do in Downholland Cross
Signs you need bath resealing in Downholland Cross
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price covers travel
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Questions from Downholland Cross
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Lancashire.
Do you work in Downholland Cross?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Downholland Cross. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is resealing worth it?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Downholland Cross. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How we price bath resealing
We charge the same across the UK, including Downholland Cross. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Air the room after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
