Is resealing worth it?

About our bath resealing in Farnworth
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Whether it’s unsealed corners and black mould in the sealant, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Farnworth and across Halton.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Air the room after use
- Keep the joints dry
- Store bottles on a shelf
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Common questions in Farnworth
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your WA8 postcode.
How long will it take?
Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
