How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Air the room after use

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

How we handle bath resealing in New Manchester

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We work on baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and basins & vanity units, and people most frequently call us about an untidy old seal and damp near the bath.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Signs you need bath resealing in New Manchester

Sealant does not last forever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Gaps by the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take around two hours, including clearing up.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your M28 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

FAQs for New Manchester

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Normally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Do you come to New Manchester?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to New Manchester for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Normally poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.
