DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we handle bath resealing in Fergushill

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. Typical jobs include black mould in the sealant and water getting behind the bath or tray, across wet rooms, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Ayrshire.

What affects the price in Fergushill

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

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

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

Most clients in Fergushill get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Shower trays

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

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. All the old sealant is cut out and removed.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. We make sure the joint is completely dry.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone goes on and is tooled to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get 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 over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep the joints dry

Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.

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.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Movement in the bath or tray
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Fergushill: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do you cover the whole of North Ayrshire?

We cover the entire UK, including Fergushill and the rest of North Ayrshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How long does silicone take to cure?

Generally after around 24 hours. We’ll tell you the exact time.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

Can you reseal over the old silicone?

We always remove the old sealant completely. Fresh silicone doesn’t stick to old.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Fergushill

Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When to call us in Fergushill

A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • A messy previous reseal
  • Old sealant that looks dirty

Before you book anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
