Bath resealing in Wingates, done in place
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We are frequently asked to fix gaps in the seal and old sealant that looks dirty, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and kitchen worktops & sinks.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Common problems we fix in Wingates
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Stained silicone
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Black mould in the sealant
- Unsealed corners

How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Bolton and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
FAQs for Wingates
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Bolton. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units

What else we do in Wingates
How we price bath resealing
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
For a price in Wingates, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Why it’s worth resealing in Wingates
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- One visit for most repairs
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
