How the visit works

- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare

How we handle bath resealing in Howe Bridge
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We work on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are an untidy old seal and black spots in the silicone.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How we price bath resealing
There’s no charge for travel to Howe Bridge. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Resealing in Howe Bridge: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Howe Bridge. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Do you need bath resealing in Howe Bridge?
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A messy previous reseal
- Black spots in the silicone
- Leaks at the edges
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- If travel is included in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What preparation is included
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep the joints dry
- Air the room after use
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Store bottles on a shelf
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Howe Bridge questions
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you work in Howe Bridge?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Howe Bridge for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Howe Bridge and the rest of Wigan. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
