What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep the joints dry

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Arborfield questions

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

What bath resealing costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Arborfield. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A photo taken from further back

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

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Arborfield, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common problems we fix in Arborfield

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Unsealed corners

Comparing quotes

  • What prep work is covered
  • How to care for the finish
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Resealing in Arborfield: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
