About bath resealing in Rochdale
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include black mould in the sealant and an untidy old seal, in shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow around two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Open a window after bathing
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Keep the joints dry
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Rochdale, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Hidden water damage
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Repairing versus replacing
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the colour is matched
Your questions about bath resealing in Rochdale
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How long does a reseal take?
Typically a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We will tell you the exact time.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
