Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, usually around 24 hours.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ribbleton

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Repairs by material

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, once the joint is completely dry.

Your questions about bath resealing in Ribbleton

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Lancashire.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What does bath resealing cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
