Common questions in Bassingbourn

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Are there extra charges for Bassingbourn?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

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

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How much does bath resealing cost in Bassingbourn?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Prices and what affects them

We don’t charge extra for travel to Bassingbourn. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise 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.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Resealing in Bassingbourn: why it matters

Putting new silicone over old doesn’t last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Bassingbourn customers choose us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Read our pricing.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bassingbourn

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.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
