- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- A messy previous reseal
How we handle bath resealing in Old Tame
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Our technicians work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are black mould in the sealant and leaks at the edges.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Old Tame and across Oldham.

Do you need bath resealing in Old Tame?
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damp near the bath
- A messy previous reseal
- Unsealed corners
- Black mould in the sealant

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Open a window after bathing
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
What affects the price in Old Tame
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Old Tame, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Other services in Old Tame
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Questions from Old Tame
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How long does resealing take?
Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
