FAQs for Elsrickle
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you come to Elsrickle?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Elsrickle from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Ventilation and drying keep it clean longer.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
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 soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Bath resealing in Elsrickle without replacing anything
A good reseal is all about preparation: every bit of old silicone out, mould treated, the joint clean and dry. Then the fresh sealant goes on, as one neat, continuous bead. Typical jobs include silicone coming away from the tiles and old sealant that looks dirty, on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Gaps too big for silicone alone

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

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
- Let steam out after showers
- Replace the seal when mould sets in
- Dry the seal after bathing
Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.
Don’t wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
When to call us in Elsrickle
Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed with the bath empty.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Sealant that’s split or lifting
- A messy previous reseal
- Unsealed corners
- Stained silicone
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if they find more damage
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How to look after the finish
Resealing in Elsrickle: why it matters
Resealing is routine maintenance. Leaving split or mouldy sealant lets water get behind the bath or tray, and that damage costs much more to fix. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take about two hours for a bath, tidy-up included.
- First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
- Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
- The joint is dried thoroughly.
- Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
- We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
