Colaton Raleigh questions

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

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.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

About our bath resealing in Colaton Raleigh

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, which stops the new seal tearing the first time the bath is used. Whether it’s black spots in the silicone and gaps by the taps, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Colaton Raleigh as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When to call us in Colaton Raleigh

Even good sealant eventually discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

10 questions to ask before booking

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean

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

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

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

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

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How we price bath resealing

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EX10 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
