What we’re called out for in East Ogwell

Look out for these signs:

  • Gaps by the taps
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Leaks at the edges

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll 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.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A flexing bath
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Hidden water damage

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in East Ogwell

We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for East Ogwell. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Reseal when black spots will not clean off
  • Give the seal a regular clean

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.

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

FAQs for East Ogwell

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

The bath or tray is probably flexing. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you come to East Ogwell?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to East Ogwell. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. Residue is removed and the joint cleaned.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
