Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most customers in Foxash Estate get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Do you need bath resealing in Foxash Estate?

Black mould is the most common reason people reseal. It grows into the sealant itself, so cleaning cannot get it all out.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Unsealed corners
  • Silicone coming away from the tiles
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Damp near the bath

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Foxash Estate

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Dry the seal after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Leave the sealant to cure for the time we give you, normally around 24 hours.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
