Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Whelley, Wigan
Bath resealing in and around Whelley: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Leaks at the edges
What bath resealing costs
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How we handle bath resealing in Whelley
All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. We work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are old sealant that looks dirty and gaps by the taps.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Whelley and across Wigan.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Why it’s worth resealing in Whelley
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- We leave the room as we found it

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Use the extractor fan
- Let steam out after showers
Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
