What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Why it’s worth resealing in Manston

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why Manston clients choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

See our prices page.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

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

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

What we’re called out for in Manston

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Leaks at the edges
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Gaps by the taps

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What affects the price in Manston

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

If you are in Manston and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Manston: your questions answered

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you cover Manston?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Manston. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

We will give you the curing time.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Manston

  • Basins & vanity units
  • Baths

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Manston as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
