Common questions in Blackridge
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Generally because the bath or tray moves. We seal baths full of water.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
How long before I can shower?
Normally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
About our bath resealing in Blackridge
A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they protect the walls and floor. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and the jobs we see most are black spots in the silicone and silicone smeared on tiles.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Blackridge as everywhere else we work.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Reseal when black spots will not clean off
- Air the room after use
Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, usually around 24 hours.
Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Is resealing worth it?
Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. 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.

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in Blackridge
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow around two hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
