Questions from California

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Usually poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in California

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in California use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for California. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why California clients choose us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Signs you need bath resealing in California

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: moisture sits on the joints longer, and mould grows faster.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • An untidy old seal
  • Sealant that is split or lifting
  • Unsealed corners
  • Black mould in the sealant

10 questions to ask before booking

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

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

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

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

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take around two hours, including clearing up.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What bath resealing costs

There is no charge for travel to California. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material

For a price in California, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
