What your bath or shower is made of matters

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Sinks and worktops

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

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Broad Oak. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

For a price in Broad Oak, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Use 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, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  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. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

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’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How to compare quotes

Why it’s worth resealing in Broad Oak

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Broad Oak as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Broad Oak, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
