How we handle bath resealing in Skelmersdale
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are gaps in the seal and leaks at the edges.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes around two hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access

How we price bath resealing
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
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.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Common problems we fix in Skelmersdale
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps in the seal

Skelmersdale questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
