Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

Repairs by material

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.

Landlord and trade work in Heywood

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Heywood use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Heywood, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The old silicone is cut out completely.
  2. We remove the residue and clean the joint.
  3. Any mould is treated and the joint dried.
  4. The bath is filled with water, or weight put on the tray.
  5. We apply fresh mould-resistant silicone and tool a neat bead.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Common questions in Heywood

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Will it make a mess?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How long before I can shower?

Generally after around 24 hours. We will tell you the exact time.

Resealing in Heywood: why it matters

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and mould stays trapped behind it. We remove the old sealant completely. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Air the room after use
  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Keep bottles off the joints
  • Clean the sealant gently and regularly

Avoid scraping the joints, and keep shampoo bottles off the joints.

Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.
