Bath Resealing for Earcroft homes
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Earcroft, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- A messy previous reseal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Bath resealing in Earcroft without replacing anything
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and common reasons people contact us are silicone smeared on tiles and missing sealant behind the taps.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Movement in the bath or tray

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price

Your questions about bath resealing in Earcroft
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Do you cover the whole of Blackburn with Darwen?
All of Blackburn with Darwen, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Landlord and trade work in Earcroft
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
For anyone letting property in or around Earcroft, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
When to call us in Earcroft
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Stained silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Unsealed corners
Before booking anyone
- Aftercare advice
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the price covers travel
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
