Barrowford questions

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Normally about a day later. We confirm before we leave.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Barrowford?

We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BB9 postcode.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Common problems we fix in Barrowford

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • An untidy old seal
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What preparation is included
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  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. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Barrowford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Barrowford, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What bath resealing costs

There is no area surcharge for Barrowford. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
