About our bath resealing in Longshaw
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. We are frequently asked to fix black spots in the silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting, across kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price bath resealing
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Let steam out after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Give the seal a regular clean
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Longshaw questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Typically because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can new silicone go over old?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
What we are called out for in Longshaw
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Gaps by the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
