Burravoe: your questions answered

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

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

Are there extra charges for Burravoe?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across the Shetland Islands.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What a repair cannot fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them

There is no area surcharge for Burravoe. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burravoe 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’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Air the room after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

Do you need bath resealing in Burravoe?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning can’t get it all out.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Damp near the bath
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • An untidy old seal
  • Black spots in the silicone

Before you book anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

Resealing in Burravoe: why it matters
