Blackhall Rocks questions

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How long does a reseal take?

Usually a couple of hours, plus curing time.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Why it’s worth resealing in Blackhall Rocks

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No need to remove anything

Take a look at our pricing.

What affects the price in Blackhall Rocks

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from pictures so you do not 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’ll get a fixed figure back.

Signs you need bath resealing in Blackhall Rocks

Poor ventilation speeds things up: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Stained silicone

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes about two hours for a bath. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

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

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Air the room after use

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use.

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, 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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.
