Different materials, different repairs

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

About our bath resealing in Tarlscough

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and discoloured, yellow sealant, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A flexing bath
  • Hidden water damage
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lancashire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

What we’re called out for in Tarlscough

Look out for any of the following:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Common questions in Tarlscough

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your L40 postcode.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Do I have to be there?

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
