- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.

Why reseal now?
Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Questions from Hyde
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Hyde and the rest of Tameside. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How long will it take?
Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Let steam out after showers
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Store bottles on a shelf
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Tameside and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Repairs by material
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.
Prices and what affects them
We do not charge extra for travel to Hyde. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hyde. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
