FAQs for Higher Nyland

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Will the price change on the day?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Dorset.

How do I stop mould in sealant?

Typically poor ventilation and moisture sitting on the joint. We use mould-resistant silicone, and ventilation helps it last.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can new silicone go over old?

No, we never seal over old silicone. The old sealant is cut out and the joint cleaned and dried.

How we handle bath resealing in Higher Nyland

Resealing is quick, but it transforms the look. Clean, white joints make a bathroom look cared for, and they keep water out. Common call-outs are for gaps in the seal and a messy previous reseal, in basins & vanity units, baths and shower trays & enclosures.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Higher Nyland and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 normally 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.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Do not stand toiletries on the seal
  • Reseal at the first sign of lifting
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Do not wait until water gets behind the bath. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Rotten walls or floors behind the bath

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

What we work on

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

How we price bath resealing

We do not charge extra for travel to Higher Nyland. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Do you need bath resealing in Higher Nyland?

In time, even good sealant discolours particularly in a well-used bathroom. Steam, soap and movement all take their toll.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Black spots in the silicone
  • Leaks at the edges
  • An untidy old seal
  • Unsealed corners

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What prep work is covered
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, so the joint is at its widest.

Sinks and worktops

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

Why reseal now?

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s a quick job that protects your walls and floors. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Higher Nyland. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Everything repaired in place
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
  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 apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, including around the taps.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
