Bath resealing at your home in Mankinholes
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant does not stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Typical jobs include gaps by the taps and black mould in the sealant, in basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Calderdale.

Questions from Mankinholes
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What does bath resealing cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you reseal over the old silicone?
All the old sealant comes out. New silicone will not bond to old.
Why does the silicone keep cracking?
Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep the joints dry
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
Why it’s worth resealing in Mankinholes
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How we price bath resealing
We do not charge extra for travel to Mankinholes. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Hidden water damage
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Basins & vanity units
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
- The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
- We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Mankinholes, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Mankinholes
No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Black spots in the silicone
- A messy previous reseal
- Water getting behind the bath or tray

- Who will actually do the work
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
