Bath resealing in Eccles, done in place
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. We are frequently asked to fix black spots in the silicone and old sealant that looks dirty, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Eccles as everywhere else we work.

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Give the seal a regular clean
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A flexing bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
