How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a couple of hours. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A flexing bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Common questions in Barwick

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are there extra charges for Barwick?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Barwick, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What affects the price in Barwick

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

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • 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 a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can give you a fixed quote.

Why reseal now?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
