About our bath resealing in Lower Darwen
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Typical jobs include stained silicone and unsealed corners, across shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Common problems we fix in Lower Darwen
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Common reasons people in Lower Darwen contact us are:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
- An untidy old seal
- Leaks at the edges
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep the joints dry
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Use the extractor fan
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BB3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
