How we handle bath resealing in Higher Folds
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We regularly repair wet rooms, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about damp near the bath and discoloured, yellow sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms

Signs you need bath resealing in Higher Folds
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Gaps by the taps
- Gaps in the seal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- An untidy old seal

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Wigan and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes about two hours for a bath. We leave the room clean.

Questions from Higher Folds
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the curing time from us.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
