When to call us in Blackley
Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Stained silicone
- Leaks at the edges
- Sealant that is split or lifting

Bath resealing in Blackley, done in place
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Whether it’s water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone smeared on tiles, we can typically put it right, on baths, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What affects the price in Blackley
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Access to the area
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Let steam out after showers
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
Questions from Blackley
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Blackley.
How long does resealing take?
Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.
How long does silicone take to cure?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Blackley included. Travel is included in the price.
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.

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blackley as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
