Questions from Cowick

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How long will it take?

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

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Cowick is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Bath resealing at your home in Cowick

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair wet rooms, shower trays & enclosures and baths, and common reasons people get in touch are stained silicone and silicone smeared on tiles.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

What we are called out for in Cowick

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps in the seal
  • An untidy old seal
  • Black mould in the sealant

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cowick

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Hidden water damage
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

Materials we work on in Cowick

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

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for about two hours for a bath from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Air the room after use
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

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.

Why it’s worth resealing in Cowick

Compared with repairing water damage, resealing is cheap. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Cowick customers choose us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything
