DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Churchill

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Churchill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Questions from Churchill

How long does a reseal take?

Most reseals take about two hours. It then needs time to cure.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You will get the curing time from us, generally around a day.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

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.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can new silicone go over old?

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

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

If you are in Churchill and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Churchill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your OX7 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
