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

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

About our bath resealing in Stretford

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We are often asked to fix discoloured, yellow sealant and damp near the bath, across wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Stretford. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Landlord and trade work in Stretford

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, and that damage costs much more to fix. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No extra charge for your area

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Stretford: your questions answered

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Do you come to Stretford?

We do. We send a technician to Stretford for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time, usually around a day.
