About our bath resealing in Hunger Hill
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are leaks at the edges and silicone smeared on tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A flexing bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Hunger Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Do you need bath resealing in Hunger Hill?
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

- Unsealed corners
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Leaks at the edges

Common questions in Hunger Hill
Are there extra charges for Hunger Hill?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What areas do you cover?
All of Wigan, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What bath resealing costs
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What else we do in Hunger Hill
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
