Our technicians work on wet rooms, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are black spots in the silicone and a messy previous reseal.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

FAQs for Clophill

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What areas do you cover?

All of Central Bedfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How much does bath resealing cost in Clophill?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How long does a reseal take?

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

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How we price bath resealing

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Clophill, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. For a bath, we fill it with water first so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
