About our bath resealing in Shevington
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Common call-outs are for unsealed corners and damp near the bath, on basins & vanity units, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wigan.

Your questions about bath resealing in Shevington
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you cover Shevington?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Shevington from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Usually after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

What bath resealing costs
You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Shevington, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Do you need bath resealing in Shevington?
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps in the seal
- Black spots in the silicone
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep the joints dry
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
