Bath resealing in Manadon without replacing anything

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and baths, and the jobs we see most are leaks at the edges and gaps by the taps.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Landlord and trade work in Manadon

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Manadon as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Do you need bath resealing in Manadon?

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Stained silicone
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Choosing a repair company

Manadon: your questions answered

Do you work in Manadon?

We do. Technicians travel to Manadon from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Manadon?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Keep the joints dry

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Manadon, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a couple of hours. The room is left tidy.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Most customers in Manadon get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Related advice

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
