- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Keep the joints dry
- Air the room after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Signs you need bath resealing in Ince-in-Makerfield
Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Unsealed corners
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Leaks at the edges
- Black spots in the silicone
