Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Bath resealing in Manuden, done in place
Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. Our repair technicians work on wet rooms, kitchen worktops & sinks and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about gaps in the seal and silicone smeared on tiles.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Other services in Manuden
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Manuden as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Why it’s worth resealing in Manuden
Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Baths
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
Manuden questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can new silicone go over old?
Never over old. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Manuden?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
