Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Reddish, Stockport
We travel to Reddish for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- An untidy old seal
- Damp near the bath
- Mould you cannot clean out
Bath resealing in Reddish without replacing anything
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We work on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about an untidy old seal and stained silicone.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Signs you need bath resealing in Reddish
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Look out for these signs:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Old sealant that looks dirty

Landlords, agents and businesses in Reddish
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Reddish, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes around two hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Open a window after bathing
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Keep the joints dry
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Common questions in Reddish
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you work in Reddish?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Reddish. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How long before I can shower?
Normally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Normally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A flexing bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Reddish
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
Is resealing worth it?
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
