DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Your questions about bath resealing in Brandon

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

How long does a reseal take?

A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Are there extra charges for Brandon?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes about two hours for a bath, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brandon as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Do you need bath resealing in Brandon?

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • A messy previous reseal

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

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

What affects the price in Brandon

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
