Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we’re called out for in Tonge
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Damp near the bath
- A messy previous reseal
- Black mould in the sealant
Before booking anyone
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
- How soon you can use it again
- Aftercare advice
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Let steam out after showers
- Keep bottles off the joints
Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a couple of hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The old silicone is cut out completely.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price

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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Resealing in Tonge: why it matters
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What your bath or shower is made of matters
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Questions from Tonge
Why does my sealant keep splitting?
Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.
Do you work in Tonge?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Tonge. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Tonge and the rest of Bolton. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
When can I use the bath after resealing?
Normally about a day later. We’ll tell you the exact time.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
