What affects the price in Hackney

There’s no charge for travel to Hackney. The price comes down to:

The material
Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
How hard the colour is to match
What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

A clear, close picture of the problem area
Where you are, by postcode
A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How we handle bath resealing in Hackney

We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint is at its widest, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and baths, and the jobs we see most are an untidy old seal and mould you can’t clean out.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hackney and across Greater London.

Is resealing worth it?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

One visit for most repairs
Honest advice, even when it means no job
We leave the room as we found it
Nothing taken out or refitted

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

The old silicone is cut out completely.
We remove the residue and clean the joint.
We treat mould and dry the joint thoroughly.
The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

Keep a parking space free if you can
Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Common questions in Hackney

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How long does a reseal take?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

Tiles that move, until they’re refixed
Hidden water damage
Very wide gaps that need a trim

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
