Bath resealing at your home in Preston
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We are often asked to fix an untidy old seal and unsealed corners, in shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Resealing in Preston: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- No need to remove anything
- One price list for the entire UK
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
Take a look at our prices page.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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 will 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.
Landlord and trade work in Preston
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Your questions about bath resealing in Preston
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Kent. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units

Different materials, different repairs
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- 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.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can

How we price bath resealing
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode

When to call us in Preston
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould grows faster.

- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Damp near the bath
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
