Bath & shower resealing (mastic) in Tonge, Rochdale
We travel to Tonge for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black mould in the sealant
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
About our bath resealing in Tonge
The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. We regularly repair wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and the jobs we see most are black spots in the silicone and gaps in the seal.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Common questions in Tonge
Do you seal over the old sealant?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How long does a reseal take?
Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- We clean the joint and treat any mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What affects the price in Tonge
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath or shower
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
- Movement in the bath or tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use the extractor fan
- Let steam out after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
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.
