FAQs for Moston
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
How long will it take?
A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.
How we handle bath resealing in Moston
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are gaps in the seal and an untidy old seal.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What else we do in Moston
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Use the extractor fan
- Dry the seal after bathing
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

What we are called out for in Moston
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps

Resealing in Moston: why it matters
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we price bath resealing
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
