Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone in Oswaldtwistle, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Black spots in the silicone
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- An untidy old seal
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
About our bath resealing in Oswaldtwistle
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We’re often asked to fix old sealant that looks dirty and damp near the bath, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Landlord and trade work in Oswaldtwistle
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes about two hours for a bath. We leave the room clean.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park

What bath resealing costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it

Why it’s worth resealing in Oswaldtwistle
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Oswaldtwistle. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Air the room after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Store bottles on a shelf
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Common problems we fix in Oswaldtwistle
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Look out for any of the following:
- Stained silicone
- An untidy old seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps in the seal

FAQs for Oswaldtwistle
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Generally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Oswaldtwistle.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
