Bath resealing in Howick Cross, done in place
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Typical jobs include gaps in the seal and mould you can’t clean out, across basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow around two hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Air the room after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

FAQs for Howick Cross
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Do you work in Howick Cross?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Howick Cross and the rest of Lancashire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
