What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take around two hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Prices and what affects them

There’s no charge for travel to Digby. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you are in Digby and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Hidden water damage
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Questions from Digby

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time.

Do you cover Digby?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Digby from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Why it’s worth resealing in Digby

Putting new silicone over old does not last. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No need to remove anything

Do you need bath resealing in Digby?

Most reseals are because of black mould. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning only removes the surface.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Damp near the bath
  • Unsealed corners
  • A messy previous reseal

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What prep work is covered
