Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Melling, Lancashire
Bath resealing in and around Melling: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Black mould in the sealant
- Stained silicone
- Damp near the bath
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Bath resealing in Melling without replacing anything
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are leaks at the edges and gaps in the seal.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
The process
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. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Do you need bath resealing in Melling?
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Old sealant that looks dirty
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- How the colour is matched
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
Prices and what affects them
There is no charge for travel to Melling. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match

- The material and finish
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath or shower

Common questions in Melling
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Do you cover the whole of Lancashire?
Everywhere in the UK, Melling included. Travel is included in the price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Air the room after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
