Shower trays

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

About our bath resealing in Drayford

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal doesn’t tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair baths, kitchen worktops & sinks and wet rooms, and common reasons people contact us are mould you can’t clean out and water getting behind the bath or tray.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Common questions in Drayford

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you come to Drayford?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Drayford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How long does silicone take to cure?

You’ll get the curing time from us, generally around a day.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How we price bath resealing

We don’t charge extra for travel to Drayford. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Drayford, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Drayford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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 generally cheaper.

Resealing in Drayford: why it matters

Common problems we fix in Drayford

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Gaps by the taps
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Gaps in the seal

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We cut out all of the old sealant.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Replace the seal when mould sets in

Keep the room well ventilated, and dry the joints after bathing.

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