Bath Resealing for Wigan homes
We travel to Wigan for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Gaps by the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Bath resealing in Wigan, done in place
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and a messy previous reseal, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Wigan and the surrounding area.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Fixed prices from your photos
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Open a window after bathing
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Common questions in Wigan
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Wigan.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.
Are there extra charges for Wigan?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover the whole of Wigan?
All of Wigan, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
