Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

How we handle bath resealing in Drummersdale

We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and common reasons people contact us are silicone smeared on tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lancashire.

Drummersdale questions

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Lancashire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We’ll give you the curing time, usually around a day.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Baths

How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Signs you need bath resealing in Drummersdale

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Unsealed corners

Comparing quotes

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How your room will be protected
  • If travel is included in the price

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
