Resealing in Glais: why it matters

Resealing is a small job. Leaving split or mouldy sealant can let water reach the walls and floor, 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, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Read our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Glais: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How long does a reseal take?

Normally a couple of hours, then it needs to cure.

Do you cover Glais?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Glais from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Let steam out after showers

Good ventilation is the best protection, and dry the joints after bathing.

If you notice damp, stains on the ceiling below or loose tiles, act quickly. There may be more going on, and we’ll say if you need a builder or plumber.

Repairs by material

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Glais use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

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

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Glais

  • Kitchen worktops & sinks

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

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.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
  4. We fill the bath, or weight the tray, to open the joint.
  5. New mould-resistant silicone is applied and tooled neatly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
