Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Gaps too big for silicone alone
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

What we work on

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

Do you need bath resealing in Downpatrick?

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Gaps in the seal

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

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

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

Resealing in Downpatrick: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs

Questions from Downpatrick

Why does the silicone keep cracking?

Movement is the usual cause. We seal baths full of water.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How long does resealing take?

Normally a couple of hours, plus curing time.

How much does bath resealing cost in Downpatrick?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can new silicone go over old?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Do you work in Downpatrick?

We do. Technicians travel to Downpatrick from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

For a price in Downpatrick, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Air the room after use
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep the joints dry

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

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Work for landlords and builders
