About our bath resealing in Smallbridge
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We’re frequently asked to fix water getting behind the bath or tray and black mould in the sealant, across shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Smallbridge and across Rochdale.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

What else we do in Smallbridge
Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most clients in Smallbridge get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Let steam out after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Smallbridge: your questions answered
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. 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.
