Bath resealing across Preston and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps by the taps
- Stained silicone
- Black mould in the sealant
The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Bath resealing in Preston without replacing anything
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. If you’re dealing with silicone coming away from the tiles and old sealant that looks dirty, we can generally put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
What we are called out for in Preston
Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Common reasons people in Preston contact us include:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps in the seal
- An untidy old seal
- Missing sealant behind the taps
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Preston
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Let steam out after showers
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
