Questions from Longsight
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Bath resealing at your home in Longsight
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about sealant that’s split or lifting and unsealed corners.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlord and trade work in Longsight
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot 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.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.
What affects the price in Longsight
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Signs you need bath resealing in Longsight
Poor ventilation speeds things up: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- An untidy old seal
- Black spots in the silicone
- Gaps by the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
Comparing quotes
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried 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.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Why it’s worth resealing in Longsight
Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
