Bath resealing for Old Trafford homes

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Trafford as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Bath resealing at your home in Old Trafford

We reseal baths, shower trays, basins and worktops using mould-resistant silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours, plus curing time. We are often asked to fix water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone coming away from the tiles, on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

What we’re called out for in Old Trafford

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Stained silicone
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps by the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before booking

Prices and what affects them

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Open a window after bathing

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How long before I can shower?

Typically after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

All of Greater Manchester, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Wet rooms
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
