What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath resealing at your home in Durlow Common

Preparation is everything in a reseal: old silicone removed, mould treated, the joint cleaned and dried. Then the fresh sealant goes on, in a neat, continuous bead. Common call-outs are for silicone smeared on tiles and leaks at the edges, across shower trays & enclosures, baths and wet rooms.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Even good sealant eventually discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

People typically call us when they notice something like this:

  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Unsealed corners
  • Mould you cannot clean out
  • Sealant that is split or lifting

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What preparation is included
  • Aftercare advice
  • How your room will be protected

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep the joints dry
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Use the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

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

Is resealing worth it?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place

Durlow Common: your questions answered

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

How long will it take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Do you cover the whole of Herefordshire?

We cover the whole UK, including Durlow Common and the rest of Herefordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What bath resealing costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Landlord and trade work in Durlow Common

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes around two hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price
