Bath resealing at your home in Gigg
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for old sealant that looks dirty and sealant that’s split or lifting, in basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Your questions about bath resealing in Gigg
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Resealing in Gigg: why it matters
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What affects the price in Gigg
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Landlord and trade work in Gigg
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gigg use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hidden water damage
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the area is dry

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Do you need bath resealing in Gigg?
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.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Leaks at the edges
- Sealant that is split or lifting
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- What prep work is covered
