Bath resealing in Leigh without replacing anything
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s sealant that’s split or lifting and black mould in the sealant, we can normally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What else we do in Leigh
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What we’re called out for in Leigh
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A messy previous reseal
- Unsealed corners
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price covers travel
- When it can be used again
- How changes to the job are handled
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Leigh
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Questions from Leigh
How long does resealing take?
Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Let steam out after showers
- Use the extractor fan
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
How we price bath resealing
We don’t charge extra for travel to Leigh. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
