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, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and missing sealant behind the taps, in basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Galgate and across Lancashire.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Keep the joints dry
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A flexing bath
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Galgate
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Galgate as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Galgate, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Why it’s worth resealing in Galgate
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. 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.
Why book with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Work done at your home or business
- A fixed quote before you book

Galgate: your questions answered
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How long does resealing take?
Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Galgate and the rest of Lancashire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
When to call us in Galgate
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Look out for these signs:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Gaps by the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
