Why it’s worth resealing in Rusholme
Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Bath resealing in Rusholme without replacing anything
Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps by the taps and silicone coming away from the tiles.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Rusholme
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most clients in Rusholme get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Related advice
Signs you need bath resealing in Rusholme
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Look out for any of the following:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Stained silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- A messy previous reseal
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

FAQs for Rusholme
Why does mould come back so fast?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Rusholme is covered. Prices do not change with location.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Ventilate the bathroom well
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
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.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
