Questions from Hartley

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

My seal keeps tearing. Why?

Something is moving. Persistent splitting can mean the support needs attention.

How long will it take?

A bath or shower normally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.

Can new silicone go over old?

All the old sealant comes out. New silicone won’t bond to old.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you come to Hartley?

We do. We send a technician to Hartley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t stand toiletries on the seal
  • Wipe the joints dry after use
  • Let steam out after showers
  • Use the extractor fan

Run the extractor fan, wipe the joints dry after use, and clean them regularly with a mild cleaner to slow mould growth.

Damp below or loose tiles need checking quickly. It may be more than a reseal, and we will say if you need a builder or plumber.

Landlord and trade work in Hartley

If you manage property in Hartley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How we price bath resealing

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most clients in Hartley get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Why reseal now?

Resealing costs very little and protects the walls and floor. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why Hartley clients choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before booking

See our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  2. Next we clean the joint and deal with mould.
  3. The joint is dried thoroughly.
  4. Baths are filled with water first, so the joint is at its widest.
  5. We run a new bead of mould-resistant silicone and smooth it neatly, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
