Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Prestolee, Bury
Bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone at your home in Prestolee, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Bath resealing in Prestolee, done in place
A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Common call-outs are for black spots in the silicone and water getting behind the bath or tray, in basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Why it’s worth resealing in Prestolee
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Prestolee. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can price the job.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
Common questions in Prestolee
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Bury. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Usually because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
