Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Greengate, Greater Manchester
Bath resealing across Greengate and nearby, typically in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Black mould in the sealant
- Damp near the bath
- Gaps by the taps
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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 generally cheaper.
How we handle bath resealing in Greengate
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are black spots in the silicone and sealant that’s split or lifting.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Let steam out after showers
Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Why it’s worth resealing in Greengate
Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us

- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
