DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Let steam out after showers
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting

Avoid scraping the joints, and don’t stand bottles on the seal.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly; it shows moisture is getting in. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

Denton: your questions answered

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. Leave it to cure before use.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

What bath resealing costs

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we are called out for in Denton

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Stained silicone
  • Damp near the bath
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Black mould in the sealant

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What prep work is covered
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Denton

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

For anyone letting property in or around Denton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes about two hours for a bath. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
