Bath resealing at your home in Block Lane
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for missing sealant behind the taps and water getting behind the bath or tray, in wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oldham.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Block Lane questions
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How long before I can shower?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Oldham. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Block Lane?
Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Open a window after bathing
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Is resealing worth it?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Landlord and trade work in Block Lane
If you manage property in Block Lane, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- A flexing bath
- Hidden water damage
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Block Lane
