Bath resealing in Pinfold, done in place

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and black spots in the silicone.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Lancashire.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How we price bath resealing

There is no area surcharge for Pinfold. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Pinfold

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Gaps in the seal

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What preparation is included
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

Is resealing worth it?

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
