About our bath resealing in Summit
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Common call-outs are for an untidy old seal and gaps in the seal, on basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

- A flexing bath
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Oldham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Use the extractor fan
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

- Point us to the nearest place to park
