How we price bath resealing

We do not charge extra for travel to Cautley. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

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

Baths, trays, basins and kitchen worktops all get resealed using mould-resistant silicone. Most jobs take a couple of hours, plus curing time. Typical jobs include black mould in the sealant and an untidy old seal, across basins & vanity units, shower trays & enclosures and baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Cautley and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes around two hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Cautley, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Questions from Cautley

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How long will it take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Common problems we fix in Cautley

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

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

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hidden water damage
  • Hollow or loose tiles
