Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Common questions in Clappersgate

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Movement is the usual cause, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

How much does bath resealing cost in Clappersgate?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Why does mould come back so fast?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Ventilate the bathroom well
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.

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

What affects the price in Clappersgate

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually 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

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Clappersgate

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
