What affects the price in Ceres

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How we handle bath resealing in Ceres

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Fresh joints make the entire room look cleaner, and they keep water out. We’re often asked to fix gaps by the taps and black spots in the silicone, in shower trays & enclosures, wet rooms and kitchen worktops & sinks.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Ceres and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ceres

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. 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 Ceres use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we are called out for in Ceres

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Silicone smeared on tiles

Before booking anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before you book

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Baths
  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal

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

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