Blanchland: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the curing time from us.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
About our bath resealing in Blanchland
We cut out all of the old sealant, treat any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. If you’re dealing with black spots in the silicone and silicone coming away from the tiles, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes around two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
- New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Signs you need bath resealing in Blanchland
Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Hidden water damage
- Movement in the bath or tray
- Gaps too big for silicone alone
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
Landlords, agents and businesses in Blanchland
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Blanchland, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
- Run the extractor fan during and after showers
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Keep the joints dry
Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.
Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Resealing in Blanchland: 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. 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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Blanchland
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
