Landlord and trade work in Hopwood
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
About our bath resealing in Hopwood
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. If you’re dealing with damp near the bath and old sealant that looks dirty, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you come to Hopwood?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Hopwood from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you cover the entire of Rochdale?

Is my repair covered?

When to call us in Hopwood
In time, even good sealant discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Black mould in the sealant
- Leaks at the edges
- Missing sealant behind the taps
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- If travel is included in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes about two hours for a bath, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Open a window after bathing
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Keep the joints dry
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What affects the price in Hopwood
We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Access to the area

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
