How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes about two hours for a bath, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  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. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

When to call us in East Helmsdale

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Damp near the bath
  • Old sealant that looks dirty
  • Mould you can’t clean out

Common questions in East Helmsdale

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How do I book?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Mostly moisture and poor ventilation. Mould-resistant silicone and good ventilation help.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

All the old sealant comes out. Fresh silicone does not stick to old.

Why it’s worth resealing in East Helmsdale

Putting new silicone over old does not last. 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 price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why East Helmsdale clients choose us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Work done at your home or business

Read our prices page.

What affects the price in East Helmsdale

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles on a shelf

Do not scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

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

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in East Helmsdale

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

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