Bath resealing across Tameside: what to expect
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are gaps by the taps and gaps in the seal.
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes about two hours for a bath. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Let steam out after showers
Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Tameside
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For anyone letting property in or around Tameside, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Prices and what affects them
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in Tameside, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A flexing bath
Signs you need bath resealing
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning can’t get it all out.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Damp near the bath
- Black mould in the sealant
FAQs for Tameside
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Tameside. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
How do I stop mould in sealant?
Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How long does a reseal take?
Usually a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.
