Repairs by material
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Why it’s worth resealing in Samlesbury Bottoms
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What bath resealing costs
There is no charge for travel to Samlesbury Bottoms. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take about two hours for a bath, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, generally around 24 hours.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lancashire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents often send us pictures 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.
Questions from Samlesbury Bottoms
Which areas do you work in?
All of Lancashire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How long will it take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How much does bath resealing cost in Samlesbury Bottoms?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you need bath resealing in Samlesbury Bottoms?
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Leaks at the edges
- Stained silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How changes to the job are handled
- What preparation is included
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
