Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
About our bath resealing in Longton
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. Whether it’s a messy previous reseal and gaps by the taps, we can usually put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Open a window after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

FAQs for Longton
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Do you come to Longton?
We do. Technicians travel to Longton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Why it’s worth resealing in Longton
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Do you need bath resealing in Longton?
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
