Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How we handle bath resealing in Eastfield

A reseal is a small job that makes a big difference. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they protect the walls and floor. Whether it’s discoloured, yellow sealant and silicone smeared on tiles, we can help, on basins & vanity units, wet rooms and baths alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Gaps too big for silicone alone

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Eastfield

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

Common problems we fix in Eastfield

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

Customers normally contact us about:

  • A messy previous reseal
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Damp near the bath

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes around two hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
  3. We dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: 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. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Common questions in Eastfield

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Something is moving. If it keeps happening, the support may need fixing.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you cover the entire of Edinburgh?

The entire UK, including all of Edinburgh. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Are there extra charges for Eastfield?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Resealing in Eastfield: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It peels within weeks, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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