Bath resealing at your home in Ramsbottom
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray, on kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Ramsbottom and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ramsbottom
Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow about two hours for a bath. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Ramsbottom
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps in the seal
- Stained silicone
- An untidy old seal

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Ramsbottom: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How long does resealing take?
Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Generally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
