Great Longstone questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?

Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How long will it take?

Most reseals take about two hours. Leave it to cure before use.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

What bath resealing costs

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Replace the seal when mould sets in
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
  • A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Different materials, different repairs

Baths

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

Shower trays

Trays are sealed with weight on them, for the same reason.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take around two hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we are called out for in Great Longstone

The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Leaks at the edges
  • Silicone smeared on tiles
