Bath resealing for Greenheys homes

About our bath resealing in Greenheys

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Our technicians work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are old sealant that looks dirty and water getting behind the bath or tray.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Why it’s worth resealing in Greenheys

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Dry the seal after bathing

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

How we price bath resealing

There is no charge for travel to Greenheys. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Hidden water damage

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Greenheys

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

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a couple of hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

FAQs for Greenheys

Do you work in Greenheys?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Greenheys for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you cover the whole of Greater Manchester?

All of Greater Manchester, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Do you need bath resealing in Greenheys?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • An untidy old seal

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before booking

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

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