About our bath resealing in Standish
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with silicone smeared on tiles and mould you can’t clean out, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Why reseal now?
A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Your questions about bath resealing in Standish
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you cover Standish?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Standish and the rest of Wigan. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
Common problems we fix in Standish
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Stained silicone
- A messy previous reseal
