Bath resealing in Blackfriars, done in place
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. If you’re dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and an untidy old seal, we can typically put it right, on baths, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Blackfriars and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Blackfriars
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater Manchester and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Blackfriars, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Common questions in Blackfriars
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Greater Manchester, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Air the room after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing so mould struggles to take hold.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Resealing in Blackfriars: why it matters
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. 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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Work done at your home or business
- We leave the room as we found it
- No extra charge for your area
