Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

About our bath resealing in Barton Town

All of the old sealant is cut out, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. If you are dealing with missing sealant behind the taps and gaps in the seal, we can typically put it right, on basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and wet rooms alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Why it’s worth resealing in Barton Town

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barton Town as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A flexing bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Barton Town

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

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Questions from Barton Town

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is it messy?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How long does a reseal take?

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