Bath resealing in Manley Common

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

About our bath resealing in Manley Common

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. We’re frequently asked to fix damp near the bath and stained silicone, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

FAQs for Manley Common

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time, usually around a day.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Manley Common included. Travel is included in the price.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Air the room after use
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What bath resealing costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we are called out for in Manley Common

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • A messy previous reseal

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
