How we handle bath resealing in Ashton-under-Lyne

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Whether it’s gaps by the taps and a messy previous reseal, we can help, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in Ashton-under-Lyne

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

How long will it take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Related advice

Why it’s worth resealing in Ashton-under-Lyne

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Ashton-under-Lyne clients choose us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Read our prices page.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Air the room after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Signs you need bath resealing in Ashton-under-Lyne

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Damp near the bath

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
