Common questions in Bircholt Forstal

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Bircholt Forstal. Prices don’t change with location.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

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

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is my repair covered?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Air the room after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

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.

When to call us in Bircholt Forstal

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Leaks at the edges

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the colour is matched
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if they find more damage
