Your questions about bath resealing in Preesall
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Preesall?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
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. The full list is on our accreditations page.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Preesall, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Use the extractor fan
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Signs you need bath resealing in Preesall
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- A messy previous reseal
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What affects the price in Preesall
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes about two hours for a bath.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
