Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Higher Ballam, Lancashire
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Higher Ballam, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- A messy previous reseal
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Mould you cannot clean out
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work 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.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare

- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- The material
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Hidden water damage

What we work on
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Higher Ballam questions
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
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.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We’ll give you the curing time.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you need bath resealing in Higher Ballam?
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
Look out for any of the following:
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps in the seal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Old sealant that looks dirty
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How your room will be protected
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Higher Ballam use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

- Keep bottles off the joints
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
