DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Bath resealing in Preston without replacing anything
We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Whether it’s black mould in the sealant and missing sealant behind the taps, we can typically put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common questions in Preston
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Preston?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
How long does a reseal take?
Generally a couple of hours, plus curing time.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Preston included. Travel is included in the price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no area surcharge for Preston. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Preston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Is resealing worth it?
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Open a window after bathing
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
