Bath resealing at your home in Castlefield

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. If you’re dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and black spots in the silicone, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater Manchester.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep the joints dry

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take around two hours.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Questions from Castlefield

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Castlefield. Prices don’t change with location.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Why it’s worth resealing in Castlefield

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Take a look at our full price list.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 generally cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Common problems we fix in Castlefield

No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Stained silicone
  • Damp near the bath
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Castlefield

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A flexing bath
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Wet rooms

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Castlefield, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
