How we handle bath resealing in Manton

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone won’t bond to old, which is why many DIY jobs peel. Our repair technicians work on baths, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are silicone smeared on tiles and gaps by the taps.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Landlord and trade work in Manton

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

FAQs for Manton

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Nottinghamshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

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

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will you leave a mess?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Is resealing worth it?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything

See our prices page.

What bath resealing costs

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes around two hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
