Questions from Manston
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How long before I can shower?
Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Are there extra charges for Manston?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Manston and the rest of Kent. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How we handle bath resealing in Manston
Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed, with mould-resistant sanitary silicone. A typical reseal takes a couple of hours. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, basins & vanity units and baths, and the jobs we see most are gaps in the seal and silicone smeared on tiles.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

When to call us in Manston
Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- Black spots in the silicone
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
- Stained silicone
- Leaks at the edges

How we price bath resealing
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Let steam out after showers
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We cut out all of the old sealant.
- Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
- We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
- We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
- New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
