Bath resealing at your home in Alkrington
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people get in touch are missing sealant behind the taps and a messy previous reseal.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Alkrington and across Greater Manchester.

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes around two hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- We remove the residue and clean the joint.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Preparing for the visit

- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Open a window after bathing
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hidden water damage
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
