Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Bishopston, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Common questions in Bishopston

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

Do you come to Bishopston?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Bishopston. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Can new silicone go over old?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What we cannot put right

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

  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.

Do you need bath resealing in Bishopston?

Sealant splits when the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.

Common reasons people in Bishopston contact us are:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • A messy previous reseal

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How to care for the finish

Our hiring checklist

Is resealing worth it?

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. A proper reseal removes the old first. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow around two hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  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. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.
