Bath resealing in Shawclough without replacing anything
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and the jobs we see most are sealant that’s split or lifting and black spots in the silicone.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Common questions in Shawclough
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Do you cover the whole of Rochdale?
The entire UK, including all of Rochdale. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Repairs by material
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, 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.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shawclough
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep the joints dry
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act 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?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
