What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off

Run the extractor fan, dry the joints after bathing, and give them a regular clean with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

Repairs by material

Shower trays

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

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, to open the joint fully.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a couple of hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  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 run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

What affects the price in Donnington

We charge the same across the UK, including Donnington. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Resealing in Donnington: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Putting off a reseal lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • No extra charge for your area
