Bath Resealing in Platt Bridge
Our technicians come to Platt Bridge for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Stained silicone
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Damp near the bath
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Let steam out after showers
- Ventilate the bathroom well
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
About our bath resealing in Platt Bridge
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why reseal now?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Every job is a little different, 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.
Why book with us
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- No need to remove anything

Platt Bridge questions
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
