Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- No need to remove anything

Bath resealing at your home in Swinton
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We work on basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about an untidy old seal and discoloured, yellow sealant.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Common questions in Swinton
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Salford.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Swinton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Open a window after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
What we are called out for in Swinton
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Black spots in the silicone
- An untidy old seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Gaps in the seal
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price covers travel
- When it can be used again
- How your room will be protected
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 normally the cheaper route.

Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
