Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Austerlands, Oldham
Bath resealing in and around Austerlands: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Damp near the bath
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Air the room after use
- Use the extractor fan
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Bath resealing in Austerlands without replacing anything
Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Whether it’s gaps in the seal and an untidy old seal, we can help, on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures alike.
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.

When to call us in Austerlands
Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- An untidy old seal
- Black mould in the sealant
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Gaps by the taps

How we price bath resealing
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Hidden water damage
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
- Wet rooms
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why Austerlands clients choose us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Same prices wherever you are
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

DIY kit or professional repair?
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Austerlands
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
