DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Bracebridge Heath: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How long does resealing take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

How much does bath resealing cost in Bracebridge Heath?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Landlord and trade work in Bracebridge Heath

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lincolnshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Air the room after use
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Keep bottles off the joints

Use the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Common problems we fix in Bracebridge Heath

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Unsealed corners
  • An untidy old seal
  • Stained silicone

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A flexing bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LN4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
