About our bath resealing in Eccles
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are leaks at the edges and sealant that’s split or lifting.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

FAQs for Eccles
How long does a reseal take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
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, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
Do you work in Eccles?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Eccles from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Is resealing worth it?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. We don’t add 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.

Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Air the room after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
