Questions from Brimsdown

How long does silicone take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Bath resealing in Brimsdown without replacing anything

A fresh seal protects your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and resealing puts a stop to that. We work on shower trays & enclosures, kitchen worktops & sinks and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are old sealant that looks dirty and unsealed corners.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How we price bath resealing

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Landlord and trade work in Brimsdown

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brimsdown use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a couple of hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
