How we handle bath resealing in Westhoughton
A good reseal is all about preparation: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include discoloured, yellow sealant and gaps in the seal, on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

How we price bath resealing
Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Your questions about bath resealing in Westhoughton
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you cover the entire of Bolton?
Across the UK, so Westhoughton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Generally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Common problems we fix in Westhoughton
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Use the extractor fan
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
