Why it’s worth resealing in Great Hale

Resealing is routine maintenance. Putting off a reseal can let water reach the walls and floor, which costs far more to put right. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Great Hale: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

Why does my sealant keep splitting?

Generally because the bath or tray moves, or it was sealed with the bath empty. We seal baths full of water.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What affects the price in Great Hale

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

If you are in Great Hale and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When to call us in Great Hale

Joints split if the bath or tray moves, frequently because it was sealed while the bath was empty.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Leaks at the edges
  • Black mould in the sealant
  • Gaps by the taps
  • An untidy old seal

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How your room will be protected
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
  • Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Air the room after use

Avoid scraping the joints, and do not stand bottles on the seal.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we strip out every bit of the old mastic.
  2. We clean the joint and treat any mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, taps included.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
