Prices and what affects them

There is no area surcharge for Authorpe Row. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Bath resealing in Authorpe Row, done in place

A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. New silicone will not bond to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We work on wet rooms, basins & vanity units and shower trays & enclosures, and people most frequently call us about silicone coming away from the tiles and black mould in the sealant.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a couple of hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  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. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Questions from Authorpe Row

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

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.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Signs you need bath resealing in Authorpe Row

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould takes hold.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • Who turns up on the day
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched

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