Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Horwich, Bolton
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone for homes and businesses in Horwich and across Bolton. Send photos for a free, fixed quote.
- A messy previous reseal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
About our bath resealing in Horwich
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for old sealant that looks dirty and black spots in the silicone, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

FAQs for Horwich
How long will it take?
Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Bolton. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
