Our technicians come to Salwick for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Damp near the bath
- Black spots in the silicone

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We ensure the joint is completely dry.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How we handle bath resealing in Salwick
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, then it needs to cure. If you are dealing with gaps by the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray, we can generally put it right, on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

How we price bath resealing
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Why reseal now?
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hidden water damage
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Wet rooms
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lancashire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
FAQs for Salwick
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Usually because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Common problems we fix in Salwick
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- An untidy old seal
