How we handle bath resealing in South Shore
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms, and people most often call us about gaps in the seal and missing sealant behind the taps.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Air the room after use
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
FAQs for South Shore
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
We will give you the curing time, generally around a day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Blackpool. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
What does bath resealing cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

How we price bath resealing
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
