Common questions in Birchanger
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Hertfordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
How long does silicone take to cure?
You will get the curing time from us.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you cover Birchanger?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Birchanger for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
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 photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath or shower
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Resealing in Birchanger: why it matters
Resealing costs very little, and it protects everything around the bath. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
- Keep bottles off the joints
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.
Black mould in sealant is not just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
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.
