FAQs for Appleton

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Bath resealing at your home in Appleton

Preparation is everything in a reseal: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Only then does the new sealant go on, as one neat, continuous bead. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths, and the jobs we see most are old sealant that looks dirty and unsealed corners.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Why it’s worth resealing in Appleton

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Leaving failed sealant can let water cause damage that costs far more to fix. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

Materials we repair

  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units

What affects the price in Appleton

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Air the room after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

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.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow about two hours for a bath, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
