Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Dry the seal after bathing
Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Balado questions
How long does resealing take?
Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you work in Balado?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Balado. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can new silicone go over old?
No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.
Signs you need bath resealing in Balado
Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
- Missing sealant behind the taps
- Mould you can’t clean out
- Discoloured, yellow sealant
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- If travel is included in the price
- How soon you can use it again
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Baths
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Shower trays & enclosures
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
