How we handle bath resealing in Preston
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone coming away from the tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why it’s worth resealing in Preston
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Same prices wherever you are
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
See our prices page.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Keep the joints dry
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Do you need bath resealing in Preston?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Unsealed corners
- Gaps in the seal
- Leaks at the edges
- Old sealant that looks dirty
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- What happens if they find more damage
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Questions from Preston
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What does bath resealing cost?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
