Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Salford
We travel to Salford for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Water getting behind the bath or tray

- Gaps in the seal
Why it’s worth resealing in Salford
Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Open a window after bathing
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Hidden water damage
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Hollow or loose tiles
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Other services in Salford
Salford: your questions answered
Do you work in Salford?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Salford and the rest of Salford. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
Common problems we fix in Salford
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Stained silicone
- Sealant that is split or lifting
- Mould you can’t clean out
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
