Common problems we fix in Darley Green

Even good sealant eventually discolours, especially in a busy family bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

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

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Gaps in the seal

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes about two hours for a bath. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  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. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

FAQs for Darley Green

When can I use the bath after resealing?

Generally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

How do I get a price for bath resealing in Darley Green?

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your B93 postcode.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Typically because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We fill the bath before sealing it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Darley Green

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in Darley Green, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Darley Green

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
