Bath resealing at your home in Stubshaw Cross
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are discoloured, yellow sealant and water getting behind the bath or tray.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Common problems we fix in Stubshaw Cross
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Gaps by the taps
- An untidy old seal
- Leaks at the edges
- Black mould in the sealant
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Let steam out after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stubshaw Cross as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Wigan and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What bath resealing costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Hidden water damage
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
