What affects the price in Cornhill on Tweed

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cornhill on Tweed. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

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 generally cheaper.

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.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take about two hours for a bath. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  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. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

When to call us in Cornhill on Tweed

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Mould you can’t clean out
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Questions to ask before booking

  • How to care for the finish
  • What preparation is included
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

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

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we will tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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