Choosing a repair company

Bath resealing at your home in Mannington

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Common call-outs are for damp near the bath and mould you can’t clean out, on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Prices and what affects them

We do not charge extra for travel to Mannington. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size

If you are in Mannington and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

FAQs for Mannington

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you come to Mannington?

We do. We send a technician to Mannington for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time.

How much does bath resealing cost in Mannington?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing to keep mould away.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mannington use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Hidden water damage

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

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
