About our bath resealing in Talke
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on baths, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and people most frequently call us about damp near the bath and discoloured, yellow sealant.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Talke
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Talke, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Signs you need bath resealing in Talke
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Gaps by the taps
- Leaks at the edges
- Gaps in the seal
Before booking anyone
- How your room will be protected
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- When it can be used again
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Let steam out after showers
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
