Bath resealing at your home in Birch
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. If you’re dealing with mould you can’t clean out and missing sealant behind the taps, we can generally put it right, on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms alike.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Rochdale.

Do you need bath resealing in Birch?
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Unsealed corners
- An untidy old seal
- Gaps in the seal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Resealing in Birch: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Give the seal a regular clean
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

Do I have to be there?

- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Advice
How we price bath resealing
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
