Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
Bath resealing in Didsbury without replacing anything
We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and water getting behind the bath or tray, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Use the extractor fan
- Wipe the joints dry after use
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, typically around 24 hours.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Advice
Signs you need bath resealing in Didsbury
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.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps by the taps
- A messy previous reseal
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
- Silicone coming away from the tiles

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common questions in Didsbury
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.
How much does bath resealing cost in Didsbury?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
