What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  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. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What affects the price in East Carlton

You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Open a window after bathing
  • Use the extractor fan

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

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

Signs you need bath resealing in East Carlton

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, often because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Stained silicone
  • Gaps by the taps

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

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

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Carlton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

East Carlton: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower typically takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

When can I use the bath after resealing?

You’ll get the curing time from us.

How much does bath resealing cost in East Carlton?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
