When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Bath resealing in Croston, done in place

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Failed sealant lets water get where it shouldn’t, and a new seal stops it. Typical jobs include black spots in the silicone and gaps by the taps, across kitchen worktops & sinks, baths and wet rooms.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When to call us in Croston

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the silicone, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • An untidy old seal

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

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

Baths

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

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. A proper reseal removes the old first. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Croston questions

Are there extra charges for Croston?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.

Do you work in Croston?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Croston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you cover the whole of Lancashire?

Everywhere in the UK, Croston included. Travel is included in the price.

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
