Dorrington: your questions answered

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Dorrington is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Bath resealing in Dorrington without replacing anything

Resealing is one of the simplest ways to protect your bathroom. Old, split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and resealing puts a stop to that. Our repair technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most frequently call us about water getting behind the bath or tray and silicone smeared on tiles.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Shropshire.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Use the extractor fan

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally about a day.

Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Hidden water damage
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Why reseal now?

Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, which costs far more to put right. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business

Different materials, different repairs

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.

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 normally cheaper.

How we price bath resealing

We do not charge extra for travel to Dorrington. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most clients in Dorrington get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

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 over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
