Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
How we handle bath resealing in Roby Mill
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, in a neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include discoloured, yellow sealant and an untidy old seal, on baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A flexing bath
- Hidden water damage
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes about two hours for a bath, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What bath resealing costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Roby Mill. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Roby Mill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your WN8 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Keep the joints dry
- Let steam out after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What else we do in Roby Mill
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Roby Mill questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Roby Mill and the rest of Lancashire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
