Bath Resealing for West Gorton homes
Bath resealing across West Gorton and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Leaks at the edges
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Missing sealant behind the taps
Repairs by material
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.
Bath resealing in West Gorton without replacing anything
Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and a new seal stops it. We are frequently asked to fix black mould in the sealant and gaps in the seal, in wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

What we’re called out for in West Gorton
No sealant lasts for ever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
Look out for any of the following:
- Leaks at the edges
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- Old sealant that looks dirty
- Missing sealant behind the taps

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a couple of hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Resealing in West Gorton: why it matters
A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is, and it protects everything around the bath. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Landlord and trade work in West Gorton
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Give the seal a regular clean
- Air the room after use
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A flexing bath
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Wet rooms
