About our bath resealing in Droylsden

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Common call-outs are for water getting behind the bath or tray and mould you can’t clean out, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours, including clearing up.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  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

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Tameside and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Droylsden: your questions answered

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hollow or loose tiles

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
