Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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.

Bath resealing in Church End without replacing anything

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Typical jobs include black mould in the sealant and gaps by the taps, on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

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

What we work on

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

What we are called out for in Church End

Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould loves, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Missing sealant behind the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What preparation is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

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

Sinks and worktops

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

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Wipe the joints dry after use

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Church End

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to about two hours for a bath, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For a price in Church End, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Your questions about bath resealing in Church End

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How long before I can shower?

Generally after around 24 hours. We confirm before we leave.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Church End.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
