Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, with the joint fully dried first.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hidden water damage
  • Movement in the bath or tray

Common questions in Elrick

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

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

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How long does silicone take to cure?

We will give you the curing time.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Open a window after bathing

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, so we’ll tell you if it needs a builder or plumber.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
